Middle Age

(album: Strange Names & New Sensations - 2007)

Middle age is different
Now you're someone else
Now you got some sense of
How much time perhaps is left

Middle age is central
Now you tend to know
Not just where it's been you've been
But where you'll likely go

Middle age, middle age, I say (I say)
In a new, older now, later stage

Middle age is clearer
Now it dawns on you
Now you hafta laugh at what you
Used to think you knew

Middle age is cloudy
Rain or sleet or snow?
Don't you wish you knew those things?
In fact, you once did know?

Middle age, middle age, I say (I say)
In a new, older now, later stage
Middle age
Middle age

Here's your middle age years
Here's your middle age years

Middle age is hectic
Much less time for fun
Clearly, it's a good thing youth is
Wasted on the young

Middle age, middle age, I say (I say)
In a new, older now, later stage

Middle age is telling
Now you see it's so
All those old, gray people aren't to
Blame for being slow

Middle age is further
Closer to the end
This will be as young as you will
Ever be again

Middle age, middle age, I say (I say)
In a new, older now, later stage
Middle age, middle age, I say
Call it half, by the best you can gauge
Middle age

Here's your middle age years
Here's your middle age years
Here's your middle age years
Here's your middle age years
