So it's not

Loaded stadiums

Or ballparks

And we're not

Kids on swingsets

On the blacktop



And I thought

At fifteen that I'd

Have it down by sixteen

And twenty-four keeps breathing at my face

Like a manhole

And twenty-four keeps pounding at my door



Like a friend you don't want to see

Oldness comes with a smile

To every love given child

Oldness comes to life

The youth, they dream suicide

Oldness comes with a smile

To every love given child

Oldness comes to life

The youth, they dream suicide
