Coming of age but they've got a decade on you
Varicose veins are a stubborn stain of youth
Choke on the lump in your throat again
Hold your breath until you're blue in the face
Stopped putting shit up your nose, you still stink the same
Web MD just pronounced you dead!
GP swears it's likely all in your head
Says have you tried doing yoga, and cutting out stress?
IT DIDN'T TAKE!
It never takes
The hips don't lie, but the bad knees telling the truth
Varicose veins are a stubborn stain on youth
You can't use this sack of flesh how you want to
A wasted privilege that haunts you
And it's not your fault either
It's not my fault either no, never was
Either, of our faults neither of us jump
Before we slip into the ether, let go the branch you cling - to instinctively defeated by a fear of gravity
Oh how you've longed to take the weight off, your own two decrepit feet
Have a giggle at the joke of facing our fragility
Cause the hips don't lie, and the bad knees telling the truth
Varicose veins are a stubborn stain on youth
You can't drag this sack of flesh out of its slump
And all your joints pray that you don't jump
Don't jump
Coming of age
And it ain't coming alone
