Cannot help it that he's 30 years old
He spent his money on the midnight show
And it all had a profound effect on him
Everyone around him's paper thin
Thin
He can't afford to leave
Listens to his needs
It makes him feel so deep
He's a boy in need
He remembers he was 12 years old
A champ in every way, or so he was told
And the path, it seemed so clear ahead of him
Now it's just a race he cannot win
Win, win
He can't afford to leave
Listens to his needs
Makes him feel so deep
He's a boy in need
Other people, they don't know
Life's just a one man show
He'll get his turn to grow and when it comes he won't say no
But he can't say yes until that day
Just to think he will be 60 years old
Life not wasted, but nothing to show
And he'll sit down at a table just for him
And think of all that, all that could have been
Been
He can't afford to leave
Listens to his needs
Wants to play the lead
He's a boy in need
Need
Need
