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! |
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! |
