Dont feel bad if you wake up feeling suddenly old
More than realisation that youve let yourself be covered by mould
Age is not something you wrap up if youre feeling the cold
Its a laugh ten times harder at a joke eleven times told
Down to the churchyard, check out the vaults
Dig up the coffins, unscrew the bolts
No better reminder, no strong enough salts
To show this pitiful few that weve missed the last waltz
That weve missed the last waltz
Dont feel bad if youre feeling past you sell-by date
Like the roller coaster ride slowed down to a serious debate
Oh, the whether you tell them, youre ready or whether you wait
Does someone place a hand on your shoulder
And point the way to the gate
Down to the churchyard, check out the vaults
Dig up the coffins, unscrew the bolts
No better reminder, no strong enough salts
To show this pitiful few that weve missed the last waltz
That weve missed the last waltz
You dont count the birthdays til your out on your own
They come thicker and faster and too damn late to postpone
And wisdoms the last thing the scientists willing to clone
Science advances, maturity dances alone
Science advances, maturity dances alone
