The Last Waltz |
| Don’t feel bad if you wake up feeling suddenly old |
| More the realisation that you’ve let yourself be covered by mould |
| Age is not something you wrap up if you’re feeling the cold |
| It’s a laugh ten times harder at a joke eleven times told |
| Down to the churchyard, check out the vaults |
| Dig up the coffins, unscrew the bolts |
| No better reminder, no strong enough salts |
| To show this pitiful few that we’ve missed the last waltz |
| That we’ve missed the last waltz… |
| Don’t feel bad if you’re feeling past your sell-by date |
| Like the roller coaster ride slowed down to a serious debate |
| Oh, the whether you tell them you’re ready or whether you wait |
| Does someone place a hand on your shoulder and point the way to the gate |
| You don’t count the birthdays 'til your out on your own |
| They come thicker and faster and too damn late to postpone |
| And wisdom’s the last thing the scientists willing to clone |
| Science advances, maturity dances alone |
| Science advances, maturity dances alone… |
