Hiro's Song (Demo)

(album: The Best Imitation Of Myself: A Retrospective - 2011)

My name is Hiro I am 51
Since 1980 life has been no fun
And I don't wanna die
I left my family for the secretary

Her name is Yuko and she is 22
She and my daughter were best friends in high school
They say it's crazy and it's temporary
It's not true
But I refuse to rot like my contemporaries

I wanna explode
In a karaoke supernova

She asked me if I've ever seen Jesus
She had backstage passes for three of us
Then she took me down to see Cornelius
Well, she was right, that man's a rock-and-roll genius!

And now she's gone and broke my heart goddamn her
Turns out she's been fucking this drum programmer
She likes his style, she likes his rock-start glamour
Well she's an infant! He can damn well have her!
