Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Woke up this morning like I always do

I still like to think that I'm new

Time just gets its way

Strawberries left to decay

[Verse 2]

Can't find my pants or my bank account

Don't you slip away

Voices that start to betray

[Verse 3]

Even though you raised me I will never be your father

King of each and every Sunset Marquis

Even though you're crazy you will never be a bother

You're my Old Man in the Sea

[Verse 4]

I still like to laugh when I make a joke

I still like to think that there's hope

Time just has its say

Strawberries left to decay

[Verse 5]

Struck by the sight of an empty hall

Don't you fade away

Voices that start to betray

[Verse 6]

Even though you raised me I will never be your father

King of each and every Sunset Marquis

Even though you're crazy you will never be a bother

You're my Old Man in the Sea

[Verse 7]

The hunter gets hunted

We all get confronted

Don't just slip away

Voices that start to betray

[Verse 8]

Even though you raised me I will never be your father

King of each and every Sunset Marquis

Even though you're crazy you will never be a bother

You're my Old Man in the Sea
