Lyrics for Museum

Welcome dear visitor - the first to our museum in the dozen centuries since humans disappeared; An archive of futility; Miles of hard corridor bustling with projected people bound in loops of light forevermore - Distant memories. Scared young soldiers wielding guns; Shoppers idly flicking through clothes; Gently spinning astronauts; A classroom deep in thought; Throngs of cheering football fans; A doctor crying alone; Riot police beating climate protestors; Babies being born. Distant memories...
