Lyrics

I was talking
When I should have been listening
I was doing something
When I should have been doing everything
Thought I could do anything
Thought I could get the birds to sing
But I couldn’t stop getting older
I couldn’t stop getting older
I couldn’t stop getting older every day
Oh, every day
I shut up the monkey
Beat the Devil at his own roulette
I forgave my enemies
Saved my life and I paid my debts
I saw the light
And I came back brighter
But I couldn’t stop getting older
I couldn’t stop getting older
I couldn’t stop getting older every day
Oh, every day
Well I took the reins
Of the horse with no name
The one I rode in on
And I invited Death to dine
He took off his cap and he smiled
And meanwhile…
I was talking
When I should have been listening
I was teaching
When I should have been learning
I could stop myself from feeling
I could stop that feeling leaving
But I couldn’t stop getting older
I couldn’t stop getting older
I couldn’t stop getting older
I couldn’t stop getting older
I couldn’t stop getting older
I couldn’t stop getting older
I say
**** off!

Pinyin

I was talking
When I should have been listening
I was doing something
When I should have been doing everything
Thought I could do anything
Thought I could get the birds to sing
But I couldn' t stop getting older
I couldn' t stop getting older
I couldn' t stop getting older every day
Oh, every day
I shut up the monkey
Beat the Devil at his own roulette
I forgave my enemies
Saved my life and I paid my debts
I saw the light
And I came back brighter
But I couldn' t stop getting older
I couldn' t stop getting older
I couldn' t stop getting older every day
Oh, every day
Well I took the reins
Of the horse with no name
The one I rode in on
And I invited Death to dine
He took off his cap and he smiled
And meanwhile
I was talking
When I should have been listening
I was teaching
When I should have been learning
I could stop myself from feeling
I could stop that feeling leaving
But I couldn' t stop getting older
I couldn' t stop getting older
I couldn' t stop getting older
I couldn' t stop getting older
I couldn' t stop getting older
I couldn' t stop getting older
I say
off!
