"Stripes" lyrics

I showed up in stripes
With my hair slicked back
Cavalier in my family tree on my Mama's side
I'll take my martini
Dirty and dry
I want to taste the olive and the brine

This is the flight of youth
The flight of youth

I drank six Coors Lights
Before the Lyft arrived
Seersucker in midday summertime
You reach a certain age
And change is hard to entertain
There's no easy way to end a war

This is the flight of youth
The flight of youth

Mine is a fragile kingdom
Mine is a fragile kingdom
Mine is a fragile kingdom
Mine is a fragile kingdom

I'm beginning to think
I'm gonna die alone
In a hotel room just like my father did
Make it a Doubletree
Make it cold and clean
I hope it's in my sleep

This is the flight of youth
The flight of youth
