Joint Pain Lyrics

This is a joint pain in the ass

Sitting here waiting for time to pass

Taking it slow has never been my style

Yet still I've been sitting here waiting for a long, long, while

All of my cartilage has wasted away

All of my dreams faded out yesterday

All of my memories are dissolving with time

Now just a whisper of a world once so divine

This is a joint pain in the ass

Sitting here waiting for time to pass

Taking it slow has never been my style

Yet still I've been sitting here waiting for a long, long, while

Growing old with grace is a half-baked myth

I feel like a speedboat that's been set adrift

Once I was a sailor always searching for more

Now I've been tied to an anchor that's chained to the hospital floor

This is a joint pain in the ass

Sitting here waiting for time to pass

Taking it slow has never been my style

Yet still I've been sitting here waiting for a long, long, while

Examination rooms are sterile and there's nothing to do

So I sit here imagining a young naked you

Listening to the nurses gossip out in the halls

Wondering why there's nothing hanging on these hospital walls

This is a joint pain in the ass

Sitting here waiting for time to pass

Taking it slow has never been my style

Yet still I've been sitting here waiting for a long, long, while

Sheet goods on the floor; or is that stone

Isolated and they've left me in here all alone

Wonder why the chips fall the way that they do

And why the surgical gloves, once white, are now dark blue

Or is that purple, or some other color I can't even name

This is a joint pain in the ass

Sitting here waiting for time to pass

Taking it slow has never been my style

Yet still I've been sitting here waiting for a long, long, while

Yeah I've been sitting here waiting for a long, long, while
