| Speed of spit a little slower
|
| That’s the spot below the fulcrum
|
| Where the wrist will prop me up
|
| Pounds of rocks inside the pockets
|
| Silverware stuck in the sockets
|
| Light me up and make a firebomb
|
| Cigarettes, and boys and movies
|
| No longer mean nothin' to me
|
| When did we get so old?
|
| Cuts both ways across
|
| So sell it back at cost
|
| And wonder your mother would she cry
|
| If she knew what you gave, gave, gave up?
|
| Shuck and jive right in the face of everyone who’s got a case of
|
| Something that could hurt you too
|
| Disrepair and demolition
|
| Start at home inside the crawlspace
|
| Where they learned to be that way
|
| Cuts both ways across
|
| So sell it back at cost
|
| And wonder your mother would she cry
|
| If she knew what you gave, gave, gave up?
|
| Now I can feel the life slip
|
| Now I can feel the life slip
|
| Out of me
|
| With repetition
|
| Cigarettes, boys, and movies
|
| No longer mean nothin' to me
|
| Tell me when we got so old |
