Thirty-Something

I think my back is playin’ up again,
I’ve got the front to bring it down but then,
Somebody might know,
Somebody might go… oh oh oh o-oh.

I think I’ve landed on my crow’s feet,
My dancing lands before I hit the beat,
Somebody might fall,
Somebody might call… oh oh oh o-oh.

I feel my body goin’ under,
All the hopefulness I like to keep in place,
I know my mind has gone asunder,
I’m devoid of normal elegance and grace,
But I’m askin’ of it one more time,
Can you wait until the end of the line,
There’s just one thing I’ve got to do,
(&) that’s try to be a daddy with you.

I’m taking out more than I put back in,
It hurts to eat without my Ritalin,
Somebody might fear,
Somebody might hear… oh oh oh o-oh

I’m taking longer just to heal a bruise,
And even longer still to feel amused,
Somebody might see,
Somebody might be… oh oh oh o-oh

And I feel, thirty-something,
Looking out on, on a perfect morning,
And the thoughts that take my mind,
Are the ones of a change in kind,
When my blood’s in my head,
& my heart’s in the know,
I’ll be ready for another go…

I think it’s getting past my bedtime,
I’ve got to put the blanket up to five,
Somebody might feel,
Somebody like me… oh oh oh o-oh
