Methusela |
What’d your father say to you |
When he reached right through you? |
Did he say the things that he had learned |
From his father, too? |
So when do you become your own you |
Become your own you? |
Or are you just a shadow of something new |
We are Chinese boxes |
Equal parts present and past |
Where do I begin and end up? |
Saw those old eyes staring right back at me |
So tell me what you need |
I’ll be watching out for you |
There are no enemies |
Only dangerous friends |
You grew up very fast |
I didn’t think I’d miss a thing |
'Cause nothing ever lasts |
A wise old man |
A wise young fool |
A wise young man |
A wise old fool |
Try to understand |
(A wise old man, a wise young fool) |
(Notice me, comfort me, understand me) |
Just try to understand |
(A wise old man, a wise young fool) |
(Notice me, comfort me, understand me) |
What’d your father say to you |
To turn you cold? |
Father never quite grew up |
He just grew old |
And if I was to say to you |
You know I love him still |
Would you think less of me |
For hating me? |
We are Chinese boxes |
Equal parts present and past |
We are so unconscious |
Saw those old eyes staring right back at me |
So try to understand |
I’m just like you, and you me |
Exactly who I am |
Might escape you always |
The fortunes of a man |
Are the debts of the son, always |
A wise old man |
A wise young fool |
A wise young man |
A wise old fool |
