lyrics

Old Man

Do you see that old man walking
do you see that old man walking
he's got a crooked smile to match his spine
a fat cheap cigar and a bottle of wine

Well i'm not judging
no i've just been watching
i can't help notice that his face looks like mine
will i ever be like that in time

I hope no
I hope no
I hope no
I hope no

I was on the seawall
when i saw that rat crawl
he wanted to give me a piece of his mind
I said thats just fine i'm just killing time

He told me his story
than i told him mine
the shocking similarities travelled down my spine
and if i'm not careful this life could be mine

I hope no
I hope no
I hope no
I hope no

I feel the walls always watching
and some day they'll say something
the day they break their silence is the day that I die
i'll slit my own wrists before the news hits out side

The old man is at the news stand
the morning paper in his hand
as the obituaries cross his eyes
he said this young dead man had a smile like mine

Do you see that old man walking
do you see that old man walking
he has a crooked smile to match his spine
a fat cheap cigar and a bottle of wine

Do you see that old man walking
do you see that old man walking
he has a crooked smile to match his spine
a fat cheap cigar and a bottle of wine
