A long time ago, men lived here
A long time ago, children played here
A long time ago, women worked here
A long time ago, dogs barked here

Nowadays, vines cover windows
Nowadays, moss makes homes green
Nowadays, flowers line rooftops
Nowadays, trees grow through floors

A long time ago, cars drove here
A long time ago, people walked here
A long time ago, neon lights shone here
A long time ago, crowds were here

Nowadays, there is radioactivity
Nowadays, no animals are in sight
Nowadays, there is overwhelming oxygen
Nowadays, it is all overgrown
