Looking back on my diary 
I seem to get a sense of deja vu 
And all these different things I'm going through 
Seems that after all I've been through before 
Faded days of my memory 
Paper dreams of things I didn't do 
Three years back, oh 1962 
In the wheel and spin 
You just breathe again 
All right you say to me 
Live your life for today 
Dreams are just fantasies 
Waste your time and you pay 
Oh, but some time ago 
I was on my own 
By a green telephone 
And looking back on my diary 
I seem to get this sense of passing through 
Nothing's really changed and nothing's new 
In the rise and fall it was after all deja vu 
All right you say to me 
Live your life for today 
Dreams are just fantasies 
Waste your time and you'll pay 
Oh, but some time ago 
I was on my own 
By a green telephone 
And looking back on my diary 
I seem to get this sense of deja vu 
And all these different things I'm going through 
In the rise and fall 
It was after all 
Deja vu 
Deja vu 
Deja vu 
Deja vu
