Name that song

Name that song filter

Have this on one of my old college DJ tapes. Early to mid 90s.

"Some how I've been here
This all seems too familiar now
New friends with old words say to me
It's wild how you have changed again.

The more things around me change
The less I feel we stay the same
I remember something I would tell you but I can't"

Thanks!

Wow, this takes me back. The song's "Present Tense," by the band Tripmaster Monkey! The only info I've been able to find about it is that it's from the soundtrack of a 90's movie called Naked in New York. Sadly, I've never been able to find the soundtrack (or an mp3 of the song), but I remember listening to a .wav of it several years ago when I was searching for anything related to the book Tripmaster Monkey by Maxine Hong Kingston.

*Scratch that "sadly" - there's several copies on eBay.
