"Old" lyrics
"Old"
The first time I heard "Peggy Sue", I was 12 years old
Russians up in rocket ships and the war was cold
Now many wars have come and gone, genocide still goes on
Buddy Holly still goes on, but his catalog was sold
First time I smoked, guess what - paranoid
First time I heard "Satisfaction" I was young and unemployed
Down the decades every year, summer leaves and my birthday's here
And all my friends stand up and cheer and say "Man, you're getting old!"
Getting old
Old
Getting old
We celebrate the birth of Jesus on Christmas day
And Buddha found nirvana along the lotus way
About 1,500 years ago the messenger Mohammed spoke
And his wisdom like a river flowed through hills of gold
Wisdom is old
The Koran is old
The Bible is old
Greatest story ever told
Disagreements?
Work them out
The human race has walked the earth for 2.7 million
And we estimate the universe at 13-14 billion
When all these numbers tumble into your imagination
Consider that the Lord was here before creation
God is old
We're not old
God is old
He made the mold
Take your clothes off
Adam and Eve

Looking for the only sound that matters
Sometimes you're so misleading...
Loudon Wainwright III - "Rufus Is A Tit Man" Rufus is a tit man
Suckin' on his mamma's gland
Suckin' on the nipple
It's a sweeter than the ripple wine
Yes, its sweeter than the wine
You can tell by the way the boy burps
That it's gotta taste...

He loves when you hold him, grab him from behind
