Back when I was twelve or so I swear to god I never felt so low Everyone but me was making out and eating cookies I had more than my brain could stand I threw my life in a garbage can I felt so weird I had to disappear In crying suicide disease. At fifteen getting stoned felt good and it sent me back to childhood And nothing ever mattered to me more than that.
But then sixteen became eclipse My brain became apocalypse I was lost and found and I've never been the same. Back when I was twenty-two I left the best thing that I knew and I gave it up for fortune and for fame I played like I didn't know how I shocked the world I wowed the crowd But I deserved more than what they gave.
Back when I was twenty-seven still nothing had been forgiven Clay turns into rock and rock just sits So sitting on a crowded beach I'd pretend I was a leach And stick to things here and there for a little bit.
Back when I was thirty-one I knew I'd become what I'd become Nothing left to reveal And nowhere else to turn So shocked and withered dumb and bitter And in need of a babysitter I'd gladly let my hand fall off and burn burn burn.
Back when I turned the big fortyI realized just how much there was to go And I started to think that being alone forever Wasn't where it was at So I pulled my head out of the window And I taught myself how to love real fast I started talking about painting With a woman in the laundromat.
Back when I was fifty and my first wife had just left me I felt okay and I sang my daughter Funny little songs And just when I thought the best was past I fell in love for real at last And it didn't even matter that it had taken me so long.
Back when I was sixty-three the public rediscovered me My comic books and records had all become rare cult-collector items Both my parents were deceased So they didn't see my records get re-released And I got a dog for the first time in my life. Back when I was seventy-four my dog died and I got two more I still felt really good about my daughter And also about my girlfriend And I'd sing and draw a little bit But mostly I'd wake up early and sit And hang out with the puppies and wish that I could live forever.
Back when I was eighty-seven my grandson had just turned eleven My woman was dead And my dogs were getting pretty old My body didn't work quite like it should But overall things were pretty good I was getting decent royalties from the reissued comic books and records.
Back when I was a hundred and six My only friend Was one goldfish Everyone I ever knew was dead and gone The goldfish never had a name And the neighbors thought I was insane And I flushed it down the toilet when I saw it floating upside down. I put KY jelly on your eyeballs So you can look right into me and I won't even feel a thing I found an old drawing I made It was starting to disintegrate But if I look at it with a squint I swear that I can see the whole thing Every now and then I think it all makes sense I believe that every meaning has a coincidence I'd swap a secret with you if I thought you had a good one to share I'd swap a secret with you if I thought you had a good one to share I'd swap a secret with you if I thought you had a good one to share Hey.
Sitting in my room Checking out the three-quarter moon If I look at it with a squint Swear that I can see the whole thing Was listening to records but my turntable broke Started to fix it but it started to smoke So now it's pretty quiet and the sun is coming up pretty soon If I start thinking about summertime I'm gonna go right out of my mind If I look at it with a squint Swear I can see the whole thing The days are all spread out like a deck of cards The queens are all bent up so you'll know where they are I'm gambling my life that there's nothing new I'm gonna find I say hey why should it matter at all?
