Long in the Tooth Lyrics

Time takes forever, the impossible truth, getting long in the tooth

As I'm driving myself home on a Saturday night, to soak in the screen's shining light

I hear my neighbors are laughing

They're talking movies and rain, I think they're high on cocaine

I'm wondering where my friends are

Hope they're happy and fine, drinking their twelve-dollar wine

I roll towards forever, yield for the oncoming flow, wait for a sign that says go

And there's a time to remember and a time to forget, but learning when is the trick

And I can count on my fingers, all my flickering thoughts

Spaced out and walking my dog

Remember being a child, running wild and free, but is it me who's still me

I shake hands with forever, I'm feeling salty and sweet, they say you are what you eat

And I speak soft when I'm tired, but still the world's spinning slow

I hope it's right when I go
