momus - life after sixty lyrics

Loading...

well i’ll be d+mned
d+mned if i do, d+mned if i don’t
dead as a doorkn+b

well you fly in like a nightingale
and stagger out like a duck
too sick to matter, too fat to f+ck
and physical disintegration’s just the icing on the cake
someone’s left this cake out in the rain

why do people talk in sentences i cannot understand?
even if i wanted to, you horrid little man
you’re either discussing me or giving me a tiny push
i dress this way because i hate the swoosh

life after sixty, it’s a dismal cabarеt
your friends applaud politely taking backward steps away
thе reviews are kind, you dream that night
you’re back at school surrounded by pixies
“go stand in the corner!” says teacher
recede into invisibility

why did i come into this room?
i know there’s a reason
probably to make an exit
i had hot flushes once
but now i’m mostly cold
the kids in art school think i’m cool
but mostly they just think i’m old
the rats don’t give a rat’s +rs+
i attained invisibility
the day my hair quite suddenly turned grey

now this is delicious, they ask me: “didn’t you once date momus?”
and i say: “date him? i was him for several years!”
of course he was queer
they’re all queer in the end
all would+be peggy lees, on their knees singing “i’m still here!”

of course you are, darling
we all are!

i am sure there’s a reason i came into this room
was it for the scissors?
but i have the scissors in my hand!

if you ask why don’t i end it all
well nature’s doing that particular job rather well
no need to prime the pump
turn the handle on that crank
what is there to show for it all?
an old x+rated diary
torn monopoly money
in a piggy bank from studio ghibli

life after sixty, it’s a dismal cabaret
your friends applaud politely
taking backward steps away

you’re here and then you’re not
it’s extremely b+n+l
dot dot dot
