Moonlight shines on you and me
|
got the sailors back from the sea
|
you try sleeping but all that you hear is
|
the steady slowing down of my heart
|
it's not that you get lazy
|
it's not about getting old
|
it's not that you get up in the morning
|
wishing you never woke
|
the car i drive is built to last
|
it does not go particularly fast
|
I'm in no great hurry is that caused of the effect of
|
the steady slowing down of my heart
|
it's not that i got lazy
|
it's not about getting old
|
cause there's no miracle cure for getting used to someone
|
and now jimmy spends a fortune because he's down to twice a week
|
his shrink says a crisis in midlife is only natural well, well, well,
|
julie got a facelift you know she's only 33
|
jesus, may i give thanks to brigitte bardot
|
you try sleeping now that all that you hear
|
is the steady slowing down of my heart
|
it's not that i got lazy
|
it's not that i got old
|
it's just there's no miracle cure you know
|
to getting used to someone
|
the moonlight shines on you and me
|
brings the sailors back from the sea
|
as i lie sleeping down my side
|
all that you hear is
|
the steady slowing down of my heart
|
it's not that you get lazy
|
it's not about getting old
|
it's not that you get up in the morning and wish you never woke
|
but then julie was aroused by jimmy's lack of self esteem
|
the shrink says when a man takes a mistress it's often helpful
|
well, well, well jimmy asked for heaven she was happy to ablige
|
his shrink said guess this was a bad year to quit smoking
