*Been around too long* *crept up on me* *feel the same as I did* *when I was twenty three,* *so whats this body* *who is this old man* *that I should believe* *that this I am.* *Why is he following me all around?* *I want to escape* *get back to when* *have the same youth* *that I had then.* *I have not aged* *just this shell.* *Its like I am trapped,* *its riddled with pain* *keeps needing tablets* *makes us sleep again.* *Come on wake up* *lets hit the town,* *alright then* *lets lie down.*
