Lyrics Scene 48 - Retirement Party

Scene 48

Sometimes I think that I can do anything
But then I sit down and I qualitatively analyze my acute sense of awareness for
my environmental surroundings
And I realize I’m not as cool as my doctor prescribes
I’d like to think that I’m worthy of your attention but I haven’t earned much
of anything
Every evening I crawl in bed and in my head I question the words spoken to me
Maybe 5 years isn’t too much to ask, how old I act isn’t enough for you to take
me seriously?
All the knots wedged into my spine keep me in line a little pain never hurt
anybody
I like to walk standing pretty tall but I’m going to fall if my eyes leave the
ground in front of me
It’s pretty easy to slip on some ice and it isn’t nice to fall down hard on
Milwaukee
Cap it off and take the loss, a good captain goes down with his ship and a saw
in hand
Carpentry was never much of his thing but if he wanted to live, this was his
last chance
