Lyrics
24
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.
So it's not
Loaded stadiums
Or ballparks
And we're not
Kids on swingsets
On the blacktop
And I thought
At fifteen that I'd
Have it down by sixteen
And twenty-four keeps breathing at my face
Like a mad whore
And twenty-four keeps pounding at my door
Like a friend you don't want to see
Oldness comes with a smile
To every love given child
Oldness comes to life
The youth, they dream suicide
Oldness comes with a smile
To every love given child
Oldness comes to life
The youth, they dream suicide
