lyrics

I had my fun it’s time to leave
All of my tricks fell out of my sleeves
I used to be more interesting
Now I’m a cat too fat to chase a string
I still dance with Anne on Friday nights
Do the same moves I do every time
I am trying to unwind
but there’s too many people in here tonight

Where I stand someone once stood
And after me another should
Be better than I was

I don’t consider it wasted time
watching movies that don’t rate that high
Or a fishing trip that ended dry
You never know what you never tried
Keeping up with the latest trends
as strenuous as a distant friend
Makes me feel uncomfortable
like half-time at the Superbowl

But true genius never dies
She just lives unrealized
Thoughts fade away eventually

What else can you do at the end of your life
Except say it went alright

I hope to have one thing
That can keep me smiling
Takes the weight right off my feet
Do you think you could carry me?
How you lived and how you loved lasts longer than your body does
