I guess what concerns me the most
Getting any younger so we like to boast
Are the cracks and fissures splintering our lovely lives
Our acceptance of the shiny brand-new kitchen knives
So I have decided not to live that way
I still behave in public
And I dont confuse the night with day
And Im better off please dont say
We know youll never live without
You have to keep it out
I pray that Ill be saved
Before too long
Another two or three days
And Ill get it wrong
A patch of thistle
Measuring our early grave
With waxy gleam
We stroll along the colonnade
And I have decided not to live that way
I still behave in public
And I dont confuse the night with day
And Im better off please dont say
We know youll never live without
You have no way to keep it out
I did just what they told me
Im just trying to make my way
I did just what they told me
