| I will make myself
|
| A mile from the racetrack
|
| Drag my losses home
|
| It kills me not to go back
|
| And we float with parasites
|
| All our lives
|
| There’s me with the geriatrics at the slot machines
|
| There’s me, the embodiment of how slow life can be
|
| There’s me, dead eyes are glowing
|
| There’s me, mine are always shut
|
| Passed out on the road
|
| Just hours from the racetrack
|
| Saw Lamotta raise a toast
|
| He said «You got me with the right jab»
|
| And we float with parasites all our lives
|
| With this advice — we learn until we’re dead
|
| Be losers 'til your sanguine thoughts subside, we learn until we’re dead
|
| A fallen dream’s not just a morbid sign, it’s opportunity
|
| These days I find beauty as depressing as years beyond my time
|
| If I could make this old heart young again, I’d find
|
| Another topic to drone on, a more fashionable vice to lean on
|
| Some better words to speak on that escaped my younger form
|
| There’s me with the geriatrics at their slot machines
|
| There’s me, the embodiment of how slow life can be
|
| There’s me, short of imposing
|
| There’s me, please be involved
|
| Can I stop, I stop imploding
|
| At every obstacle thrown on me?
|
| Imply, yeah, right
|
| This is only a prettier glimpse of a life so ugly that’s mine |
