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 |
