An Idol in Decline lyrics

[Verse 1]
Poor Mickey Mantle
Pride of the Yankees
I had a card that you signed
The end of America’s childhood
An idol in decline

[Verse 2]
Poor Mickey Mantle
I can still see you
‘56 frozen in time
Always your favourite summer
An idol in decline

[Chorus]
Twilight
Twilight
Twilight

[Verse 3]
Poor Mickey Mantle
You made the covers
But somehow, you slipped out of mind
Number seven’s not always so lucky
A comet fell out of the sky

[Chorus]
Twilight
Twilight
Twilight

[Outro]
Poor Mickey Mantle
Falls to his knees
An idol in decline
