lyrics

The old man watched
When I came out
My legs grew long
I hit the ground
And that old man
Did shake and frown

The old man took
Me to a dock
He said "good luck"
And pushed me off
Around my neck
A concrete block

Wouldn't mind if I could find a way to mend a home
It's not fair, but I don't care about that antique throne

The old man coughed
A bitter lung
I said "hey man
Cat got your tongue"
And that old man
Himself he hung
