The man was old in the morning.
A good Saturday off.
No where to go and no one to phone,
he poured Seagrams into his coffee cup.
And pondered why he even woke up this lonesome day.
I suppose in the matter he didn't really have a say.
Cause you cannot choose which days to live and which ones to save.
And I'm thinking of a story to tell my kids.
Something that could make a little sense to them.
But when I get to the end of the page, all I got is all the world's a stage
and no one's watching.
I want to run away from the past everybody knows.
It ain't quite right the way your sins can follow you home.
I guess that's what you get with a gal dead wrong.
I'm like a woman running with her train ten miles long.
And I thought that you was too good for me.
Now I know we was too good for them.
And I'm thinking of a story to tell my kids.
Something that could make a little sense to them.
But when I get to the end of the page, all I got is all the world's a stage
and no one's watching.
And I'm thinking of a story to tell my kids.
Something that could make a little sense to them.
But when I get to the end of the page, all I got is all the world's a stage
and you taught me how to live and not to give a shit about the dust in my corners or drinking in the morning.
I know how to relax, chill out and lay back and I don't get upset about all my debt. 'Cause no one's watching.
