"Makes One Wonder (Live)" lyrics

Not everyone is clocking the hours
How old are you?
We are not flowers
Not everyone's obsessed with time passing
So how old are you? Why aren't you answering me?

Okay I'll admit
I'm no longer quite so fit
Ya get a little lost when you're young
And make a career of it

I too will admit
Of age I do go on a bit
Ya get a little tripped up when you're young
And then make a career of it

Fun!

Makes one wonder
Really makes one wonder
How different
How different are we?

Okay let's say theoretically
Both of us are clocking the hours
But in different ways
With different powers

Sure! Both of us can watch the time passing
Counting the days for what we really want
God!

So will you admit
The heart of it you're yet to hit
Ya get a little tripped up when you're older
It's okay, it's a part of it darling!

This I will admit
If this is it I'll lose my shit
Enough of all this crap about getting older
And later wondering what the hell man
Was that fucking it!?

It makes you want to scream
In the middle of your dream
You worked so hard to build
While everybody laughed
That nasty neighbourhood
With all the crooked faces
They told you you're no good
You thought you had escaped it
You sillily thought you had erased it

Makes one wonder
Really makes one wonder
How different
How different are we?

So you try to write it right
And please them every night
And then a turn of phrase
It suddenly won't take
And you never hear the end
Of the criticising
But it's coming from your own voice

Makes one wonder
Really makes one wonder
Why we're up here
Why were even up here
And why the hell are we even doing this to ourselves
Day in, day out
Without a break
I guess that

Both of us are in the same basket!
From the cradle to the casket
Trying to figure out this here faucet
They call art
And how to turn it on!

And when they announce
That the lights will all be dimmed
You and I will just have to go and die
And buy a round for all of them

All of them
We have lost
Through the years
Makes one wonder!
