midLIFE

These grey teeth and these bloated cheeks The dark eyebags, that mirror's lying Laid strain out with back pain, last night it came, that fear of dying I push it back quick, the standard tactic It's all eternal!! A cosmic magic Peaceful mood, it's just one easy move And I'm death-defying, yeah I'm death-defying Years ago, peasant blood, we came this far Grandaddy yeah he fought for this The modern age will light the way, progress made Snap my fingers and I'll conquer this But I'm on the frontlines with no hand axe I've no hope on this land mass Your Tolle and your Ram Dass Won't cleanse my soul, won't save my ass no Now you're living Now you're really living Oh, midlife Now you're living Now you're really living Oh, midlife Sunflares on the windscreen I'm driving home from the Bon Secours So unfair, these tears stream For the love of all of the bones of her A voice eases my shoulders It's Sam Cooke and the Soul Stirrers The early tapes, from the gospel days, oh I'm all yours Save the trees, save the whales Curse the oil and all the politician populists Buy the milk, kiss the kids, pack the lunch Tell me what the latest gossip is Sell the shares, write the will, fill the holes Building all up where my pocket is Warm embrace, Leave the race, Dreams of grace F*ck it. See the face of God and live Keep repeating the holy greeting The spirit's moving inside me really I swear it is, if you don't believe me There's a crack of light up in the bedroom ceiling And its shining on me, oh its shining on me Oh, its not for nothing, no its not for nothing And it's all bliss, oh its all bliss, I swear it is, I swear it is Now you're living Now you're really living Oh, midlife Now you're living Now you're really living Oh, midlife
