Getting any better than this (Rat a tat tat Rat a tat tat tat hey) We're all fighting growing old Rat a tat tat Rat a tat tat tat hey In the hopes Of a few minutes more To get on St. Peter's list

I'm ready to go! I'm living like a landmine Waiting to explode! I'm ticking like a time-bomb Ready to go! I'm a danger to myself And everybody else And I can't hold much longer It keeps getting stronger

Strike a match and set me on fire Watch it burn and flames getting higher You light me up, sweet old desire So won’t you come close to my fire? Close to my fire Ain’t no need to tell me why Baby, it’s cold when you’re gone Don’t make me wait, wait too

Bringing together you and me Taking in that frequency, yeah Of the love that we should know Slow down pretending that you know Where we're supposed to go through generations Of just getting told, don't question the control Working on to buy a life before

Ashes blowin' in the air I was on fire but we don't care, yeah Wasted youth, always on the road Never looking back, and we're never getting old 'Cause the skies are black, but our heart's made of gold Fuck doing what you're told We're going nowhere fast

I feel our bodies getting colder And it's the road that leads to nowhere But all I want to do is go there She's got me, running from the daylight She gives me, a feeling that I can't fight Before we started it was over I'm not ready to start again And

Your love I'm lost in There must be something in the water 'Cause everyday it's getting colder And if only I could hold you You'd keep my head from going under I've been told, I've been told to get you off my mind But I hope I never lose the bruises that

Have I been holding on too strong? Is it our heavy handed love Keeping us from moving on? I'm not ready to go tonight Maybe I'm coming off all wrong It's only getting harder Talking to you without falling down And this house keeps getting darker We used

It's only getting worse, Behold this bitter curse, It's only getting worse, the end is nigh. Am I awake or dreaming? Is this the life we're breaking? Why stay alive when dying is much easier? It's not gonna end the way you want, The end is nigh

La la la la la, la la la la, la la la la, oh Oh mama, actin' like my life's already over Oh dear, act your age and try another year As I'm getting older, chip up on my shoulder Rolling through life, to roll over and die Missing hippy Jon, salad days are
