The Ballad Of Paul K

He's drinking cold Corona

Feels like he's getting older now

And noticing how he's finding grey hairs left in the shower

Tattoos fade by the hour and he can't understand these feelings

Why life is getting him down

He used to smile now he frowns and cries inside

It's been this way for a while and he can't seem to put things right



When life has been unkind and you're losing your mind

Look in the mirror

Afraid of what you'll find

It feels like time's not on your side



He doesn't like to mention applying for his pension

So his children don't know he's heading into a mid-life crisis

He can't afford the prices for the new kitchen floor he's buying

He's been a drunk all his life

Two kids

A dog and a wife he doesn't know

And in the daytime he just sits and watches television shows



When life has been unkind and you're losing your mind

Look in the mirror

Afraid of what you'll find

It feels like time's not on your side



Don't know why but somehow the ones you love you hate now

You feel down and blue

Look at what you've thrown away

They stood beside you all the way

Now it's too late

It's too late for you



When life has been unkind and you're losing your mind

Look in the mirror

Afraid of what you'll find

It feels like time's not on your side
