"A Fan's Lament" Lyrics

Here are the lyrics to my last song:

When I first heard them on the radio
I swear that time stood still.
I bought their album, played it non-stop on my stereo,
I couldn't get my fill.

But that was over three years ago.
(Where did they go?)
It seems that nobody knows.

Time moves on,
Like a faded song.

I joined their fan club, hung up posters,
Taped their videos.
I was their biggest fan.

Stood in line all night for tickets to their sold out show.
They were the greatest band.

That all seems like so long ago.
(Where did they go?)
I hear they're back in the studio.

And now time moves on
Like a hopeful song.

(Chorus)
There's a new album coming out!

(Coming out, coming out)

There's a new album coming out!

(Coming out tomorrow)

There's a new record coming out!

(Coming out, out, out)

There's a new album coming out

And I'll be the first one in line.

When I first learned I'd hear my band once more
I swear my heart stood still.

I counted down the days til I would hit the record store
The news was such a thrill.

Now there's only one day to go,
(Where did time go?)
To resurrect them on my stereo.

And now time moves on
Like a skipping song.

(Chorus)

(Solo)

(Chorus)

When I got home I put the record on
I couldn't trust my ears.

It seems the band had changed their sound
And left me all alone,
It was my greatest fear.

What happened to the band that I know?
(Where did they go?)
And now we've got three more years to go.

And now time moves on
Like a distant song.
