(words and music by Joe Jackson)



The older I get the more stupid I feel

I don't know what's going on

Tired of trying to be strong

When I should be crying



The further I go the less distance I see

Leave behind another home



The harder I try the less people I please



The older I get the more lucid I feel

Let it go and let it come

Tired of trying to belong

When I could be flying
