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
