Waltz For Grandma's Sake

Old age wisdom and the world grown bald

But you're still amazed by every little hair that falls

And I wonder if repetition makes one forget

Cuz I'm under the impression that you're fraudulent

You're not really old

Tantrums reveal that rich experience

And those naked gums - the loss of all your confidence

Then you serve a dish I try hard to avoid

And it's backwards, my learnation is going to be destroyed

Finding worth in the worthless

Time spent learning to regress

I listen, try to care, say "mm-hmm" here and there

But there's something else inside

I try to be polite, make you feel all right

I can be anything you like

I'll be a virgin forever

Cataracts - everyone's the same old blur

And those stale snacks make me feel and feign inferior

But I'll make believe, trying to cooperate

And I hope you don't see me hide it underneath my plate

I'll get a backache and stumble over both left feet

Awake nervous knowing that we'll meet

Must I tolerate this useless game we dance and sing?

Cuz I don't relate, and I'm not learning anything at all

Force a circle into a square dance

Insist the future try and relive the past

I listen, try to care, say "mm-hmm" here and there

But there's something else inside

I try to be polite, make you feel all right

I can be anything you like

I'll be a virgin forever

I don't wanna dance, na na na...
