Middle Age Lyrics

I heard that it can be argued

That you are the living proof

Work hard and sacrifice too

You will be rewarded

Maybe for some this is true

But it didn't work for me for you

When everything we make or to do

Is gone or distorted.

Now nobody sees U.F.O.s

And there's nowhere new for us to go

And even if we wanted too though

We couldn't afford it

Your heroes have killed themselves yes

On purpose or by accident

Now the only ones that we have left

Are no longer touring

Oh middle age

Oh middle age

Its the silver anniversary

But feels like it was yesterday

In that time we've not had much to say

This is our life our life at 40

There's nothing new under the sun

The killer is still on the run

You're not even sure how to get shit done

Help me, Mr. Gordy.

Do machines know how to think?

What would they think of your kinks?

And what you do when you're all alone

Would they support it?

You know its true so cop to it

But you don't know when to quit

Floating in space like the Voyager 6

Un-escorted

Oh middle age

Oh middle age

The jokers are wild and suicidal

There are no hall passes here just crocodiles

No Popsicles

Obstacles

Ways to the hospital

Take a big bite out and smile

Bobby Eaton the great, is late for a date

On Jupiter Station and I can relate.

I don't know what they mean by a zero sum game

But you win when I lose again and again

I've had enough and I'm calling your bluff

With the god of gods oh Supreme Krishna

We chant your names a holy mantra

Hare Hare

We parked outside of Morrissey's house

With no intention of getting out

Or ringing the bell or starting to shout

I don't think he saw me

I've had my share of water and gin

With Miracle Mike the Headless Chicken

Before we reach mars in the end

Repeat back my safe word again

I keep missing my favorite bands live

You don't even tell me they're gonna arrive

But man it looked like a good time

Philly's not really that far of a drive

Oh middle age

Oh middle age

I'll meet you at the Hoover Dam

You'll know it's me by what I have planned.

At least I'll have somewhere to land.

Make way boys

I'm here watching for ghosts again

But no matter how high I am

When I close my eyes and count to ten

I never meet them

So, ready or not here I come

I have wishes, 1001

But none of them sound like much fun

So its your choice

I never managed to have any kids

Where I sit, the couch smells like cat piss

It's true it's as good as it gets

Hallelujah

The jokers are wild and suicidal

There are no hall passes here just crocodiles

No Popsicles

Obstacles

Ways to the hospital

Take a big bite out and smile

Friday the 13th won't show me no mercy

There's nothing left of me here Mr. Deputy

The safe is empty it just sits there tempting me

Lock me inside and swallow the key
