but there's never nothing new to say

I am getting older

but feeling much bolder

than I ever did before

keeping time with one finger

knowing I can't afford to linger

stepping down on the hardwood floor

dreaming of all my lovers

buried underneath their sweet covers

with the stars overhead shining bright

while I'm sliding into tomorrow

with no attachment to sorrow

letting go with all of my might

and the few stories I still recite

keep me up throughout the night

but there's never nothing new to say

I've been home and strayed afar

drove a beat up blue Chevrolet car

that needed some work but just liked to play

illusion was my favorite highway

lit a lonely candle for my latest birthday

but there's never nothing new to say

wishing I held more aces of spades

before everything I can clearly see fades

extinguishing the light of my solitary day

I am getting older

but feeling much bolder

than I ever felt before

keeping time with one finger

knowing I can't afford to linger

stepping down on the hardwood floor

dreaming of all my lovers

buried underneath their sweet covers

with the stars overhead shining bright

while I'm sliding into tomorrow

with no attachment to sorrow

letting go with all of my might

and the few stories I still recite

keep me up throughout the night

but there's never nothing new to say

I've been home and strayed afar

drove a beat up blue Chevrolet car

that needed some work but just liked to play

illusion was my favorite highway

lit a lonely candle for my latest birthday

but there's never nothing new to say.
