Bald Short And Have A Hat On by The Red Light Sting Lyrics

I'm not the same kid anymore, I'm so worn out
These genes are faded, genes are faded

Last night I tried to remember what we were like at 17
We were each other's lives, and our lives were good
But now that common ground is gone...
Vanished, vanished like some cheap cologne
And all that's left is that salty stink of maturity
Salty stink of maturity

"Let's ride the painted pony and forget our losses"
I don't want to be a slave to nostalgia!
"Let's ride the painted pony and forget our losses"

At least I'm not lying to myself
I know there is more growth than comfort
I'm pissing on the past
Washing that ghost away

You were right, I understand
Most of my friends are just my riot at 23
You don't understand me
And you can't decide if
It's wrong to spread my wings
And wave bye-bye to all this
