The Ballad Of Paul K
He's drinking cold Corona
Feels like he's getting older now
And noticing how he's finding grey hairs left in the shower
Tattoos fade by the hour and he can't understand these feelings
Why life is getting him down
He used to smile now he frowns and cries inside
It's been this way for a while and he can't seem to put things right
When life has been unkind and you're losing your mind
Look in the mirror
Afraid of what you'll find
It feels like time's not on your side
He doesn't like to mention applying for his pension
So his children don't know he's heading into a mid-life crisis
He can't afford the prices for the new kitchen floor he's buying
He's been a drunk all his life
Two kids
A dog and a wife he doesn't know
And in the daytime he just sits and watches television shows
When life has been unkind and you're losing your mind
Look in the mirror
Afraid of what you'll find
It feels like time's not on your side
Don't know why but somehow the ones you love you hate now
You feel down and blue
Look at what you've thrown away
They stood beside you all the way
Now it's too late
It's too late for you
When life has been unkind and you're losing your mind
Look in the mirror
Afraid of what you'll find
It feels like time's not on your side
