The old man, he is cleaning off his boots, he intends to walk to a place of new, we can’t run from the people that we are, if you’re in my head well you’ve gone too far
She tried to peel her shadow off the floor but somebody else wanted it more, her eyes have faded into milky gray, she walks on her problems but she’s followed anyway
It’s such a strange, such a funny, such a crazy old world, such an ugly, such a lovely, such a dead old world, it’s such a dirty, such a lazy, such a mean old world, it’s such a very, very, very, very fine world
