There’s a reflection of a man I used to be
But I hate the one I’m seeing who is standing in front of me
My limbs are slowing down
But my brain is speeding up
Pull yourself together baby, come on suck in that gut
You’re getting older, getting older
Getting older, you’re getting older
Look at my wretched face painted with lines and scars
Written by the life that I have lived and carved.
I could just scream at my distorted body
My damaged arms, my flabby tummy
Cover your eyes
Please cover your eyes
I’m disgusting like the person I am inside
You’re getting older, getting older, getting older
My mind can’t keep up
You’re getting older, getting older
My body’s getting older, but my mind can’t keep up
Now I know my debts will never be cleared
And I know I won’t get over my insecurities
I know I’ll never age with dignity
And I’m starting to think my dog will outlive me
I know
I’ll be the first to go
I know I’ll be the first to go
To go
I know I’ll be the first to go
Getting older, getting older
Getting older, you’re getting older
To go
Getting older, getting older
Getting older, you’re getting older
