Lyrics
[Verse 1]
New day rising, come close the blue blinds
I'll be lying in my ocean of time
[Verse 2]
I could dress as Arthur Lee
Scrape my shoes the right way
Maybe read Ulysses
But it's a young man's game
[Verse 3]
Dying fire, so tired of this place
Not inspired, can't keep to this pace
[Verse 4]
I could worry through each night
Find something unique to say
I could pass as erudite
But it's a young man's game
[Verse 5]
You should know
You're my last hope
[Verse 6]
I've been solving for the meaning of life
No one tried before and likely I'm right
[Verse 7]
Not too straight or too clean
Like your borrowed blue bike
I've been a rolling antique
For all my life
[Verse 8]
You should know
You're my last hope
[Verse 9]
I've been lucky as sin
Not one thing in my way
Just the arena I was in
But it's a young man's game
