met I you at seven
I didn't expect your friends
I'm feeling much older
Somewhat a generation gap

You won't understand
I'm lost in a land
I'm not twenty-seven
.

Watch the computer
Sit by the telephone
Waiting for hours
Video games
Books on the bed
Cards I never sent
It's not like a dream
I thought it should be
.
Young and maudlin
You were alright till the end of the night
Counting all your feathers in cap
And a bible black eye
.
I left my twenties
In bar rooms and bathroom halls
Past twenty-two to forty and four
Eighth Avenue
We walked twenty blocks
Sat on the roof
Played spades and hearts
.
