Ein Song über das Älterwerden. Keine schöne Sache, besonders, wenn man der Vergangenheit nachtrauert und die Zukunft fürchtet. Deshalb: Die Gegenwart ist zu kostbar. Genieße das Leben jetzt.

Sometimes when limbs are aching
Exhaustion's such a drag
My mind gets lost behind a veil
The future's dressed in rags
Hit by countless missiles
The body keeps the score
Roll your rock up to the top
Till someone shouts "Encore!"
Nurture your awareness
See your loved one smile
Days of wonder lie ahead
Success once in a while
Old Age's not for sissies
But New Age's much too lame
A smartass tells you, "cannot win
Unless you play the game"
Being fearful of tomorrow
Won't do no good to you
Bygone years, they won't return
So nostalgia's pointless too
The present is too precious
To neglect it for the past
Today is all that matters now
The future may not even last
Ego:
I'm in a squeeze, on shaky knees, I feel so old, my hands are cold
I'm downhearted and so lachrymose
Carry the weight of centuries, can't see the forest for the trees
I am almost comatose – ah ah ah
Alter Ego:
Don’t overstate, exaggerate excessively your misery
You're not a whining wimp, not at all
You are surrounded by good friends and far from reaching your wits' end
Get a grip and stand tall!
Feel these tired muscles
It's hard to concentrate
All you do takes longer now
Except for gaining weight
No reason whatsoever
To crawl back into bed
Don't write me off too early
Better write me up instead
Nurture your awareness
See your loved one smile
Days of wonder lie ahead
Success once in a while
Exhaustion's such a drag
My mind gets lost behind a veil
The future's dressed in rags
Hit by countless missiles
The body keeps the score
Roll your rock up to the top
Till someone shouts "Encore!"
Nurture your awareness
See your loved one smile
Days of wonder lie ahead
Success once in a while
Old Age's not for sissies
But New Age's much too lame
A smartass tells you, "cannot win
Unless you play the game"
Being fearful of tomorrow
Won't do no good to you
Bygone years, they won't return
So nostalgia's pointless too
The present is too precious
To neglect it for the past
Today is all that matters now
The future may not even last
