Q: "and i'm going to the land of the 2 letter words on in up at or so, by if to of no it" it's a feeling we can't forget" great  "hello and goodnight do you feel alriiiight do you remember the days gone by" ah, is this like you from the past?
A: i'm not sure why this line is different from the previous chorus. actually i think i have an idea: given that i'd already pronounced "alriiiight" longer like that, the first chorus version wouldn't have fit. so that's probably what altered the course of things.
