Don't feel bad if you wake up feeling suddenly old   More the realisation that you've let yourself be covered by mould   Age is not something you wrap up if you're feeling the cold   It's 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 we've missed the last waltz      Don't feel bad if you're feeling past you sell-by date   Like the roller coaster ride slowed down to a serious debate   Oh the weather you tell them you're ready or whether you wait   Does someone place a hand on your shoulder    you 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 we've missed the last waltz      You don't count the birthdays 'til your out on your own   They come thicker and faster and too damn late to postpone   And wisdom's the last thing the scientists willing to clone   Science advances, maturity dances alone
