Distant Things

A Rumble in the Jungle, a Thriller in Manila Blue suede shoes, Elvis and Priscilla Old blue eyes, the star of the show Distant things. Oh so long ago A bay of pigs and all its cold war tension Vietnam, is it even worth a mention An iron curtain parted, people come and go Distant things. Oh so long ago Distant things, that happened in the past Distant things, that shrink remaining vast A history of distance, that's gone but seems to last A different event. A different cast
