harmonies hesitate, shyly at first  
as muscle memories, ready to burst  
reengage fully, oh, it's been a while  
faces, reluctant to let in a smile  
scanning the crowd, when did we get so old  
melodies feeling so sterile and cold  
grannies for groupies, oh ain't that a laugh  
solo careers, then the pestering staff  
do it, please do it, so much to be made  
so many wait just to hear those tunes played  
played to recapture a bit of the past  
and here's the band, altogether at last
