Where’s My Cane? Where’s My Walker?
As some of you know. I’m now older. Well, older than I was yesterday. Tomorrow, I’ll be even older than I am now.
Confusing?!? Yes? No?
Well, I don’t feel that much older, but when you hit the big three-o, somehow you are that much older.
I was listening to my Rio Carbon this morning, and came across a song by Ben Folds called Hiro’s Song and I saw some introspection when I listened to it. Partly because I feel like I am Hiro! Flirting with these youngins.
So without much further ado, Hiro’s Song:
My name is Hiro, I am 51
Since 1980 life has been no fun,
and I don’t want to die- I left my family for the secretaryAh ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah ah
Her name is Yuko she is 22
She and my daughter were best friends in high school
They same I’m crazy and it’s temporary
But I refuse to rot like my contemporaries
I want to explode- in a karaoke supernova(chorus:)
I don’t wanna grow old
Won’t you let me, won’t you let me explode
I don’t wanna grow old
Won’t you let me, won’t you let me explode, uh oh
In a karaoke supernova, yeahAh ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah ah
Last night she dressed me up in hip hop pants
That phat g – style that rides below your a**
She wants to show me to her mom and dad
I told her I would not be down with that
‘Cuz lately I can feel the years between us
And hope the friends at work don’t see us.
Tonight she asked me if I’d ever seen Jesus
‘Cuz she had backstage passes for the three of us(chorus)
So now she’s gone and broke my heart, damn her
Turns out she’s been with his drum programmer
She likes his style, she likes his rock star glamor
Well she’s an infant, he can damn-well have her.I don’t wanna grow old
Won’t you let me, won’t you let me explode
I don’t wanna grow old
Won’t you let me, won’t you let me explode
I don’t wanna grow old (wanna grow old)
Won’t you let me, won’t you let me explode
I don’t wanna grow old (wanna grow old)
Won’t you let me, won’t you let me explode, uh oh
In a karaoke supernova
Baggage? I don’t have no stinkin baggage!
In my day….
