Hey kid
How long since your last smile?
How come you're sipping straight from Bombay bottles all the time?
White flags flutter in your eyes now
Your cheekiness has gone
You were the brightest light around
Hey kid
Please don't mind me asking
Just trying to make you work
Just trying to get the ball to roll again
Sometimes I feel your mental cancer's running wild
You were the brightest light around
Someone turn me off 'cause I can't do it
Went out to get my luck but couldn't find it
In all my summers January will linger on
'Cause I'm a sourpuss and I don't bother
Just feel a bit too old to say I'm sorry now
And everyday I feel I'm slowly graying out
Hey kid
Everyone's collapsing
We're all just modern slaves
So give us guns and say we're free
Sometimes the dots connect and your mind clicks
Sometimes you get the joke
I know you do
Someone turn me off 'cause I can't do it
Went out to get my luck but couldn't find it
In all my summers January will linger on
'Cause I'm a sourpuss and I don't bother
Just feel a bit too old to say I'm sorry now
And everyday I feel I'm slowly graying out
