Lyrics
The Ballad Of Paul K
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
He's drinking cold Corona
Feels like is getting older
Now and noticing how he's finding
Grey hairs left in the shower
Tattoos fade by the hour
And he can´t understand these feelings
Why life is getting him down
He used to smile now he frowns
And cries inside
Its been this way for a while
And he can´t seem to put things right
When life has been unkind
And you´re losing your mind
Look in the mirror afraid of what you'll find
It feels like time´s not on your side
He doesn´t like to mention
Applying for his pension
So his children don't know he's heading
Into a mid-life crisis
He can´t afford the prices for
The new kitchen floor he´s buying
He's been a drunk of his life
Two kids, a dog and a wife
He doesn´t know
And in the daytime he just sits and watches television shows
When life has been unkind
And you´re losing your mind
Look in the mirror afraid of what you'll find
It feels like time´s not on your side
Don´t know why but somehow
The ones you love you hate now,
you feel down and blue
Look at what you've thrown away
They stood beside you all the way
Now its too late, its too late for you
When life has been unkind
And you´re losing your mind
Look in the mirror afraid of what you'll find
It feels like time´s not on your side
