Where, oh where, oh where did the age come from
That struck such a sour note
It's a shame that the muse that brought you here
Keeps donning the dog skin coat
But the news is out this year
That the easy-pleaser road is here

And she's a picture dressed in hay
And all the preachers up and run
Here it is Christmas every day
And no-one gives nothing to anyone

I hold my point of view
It's lying I hate the most
But thе bird that sang love in your ear
Has swallowed a fatal dosе
If there's poison in your cup
Well you picked your tree now bark it up

And if I live to seventy
And all of my bones begin to seize
Oh Lord don't leave, don't leave to me
A one and only way to dream

The bloodshot eye sees paradise
And knows just where it lies
Dissolves into grief
That this crazy machine does not go there
I saw the picture, saw the play
I read the book along the way
I didn't need to see the end
Cause every end was just the same

There wasn't a hell of a lot to tell
He wrecked whatever he'd undertake
He got old, he got slow
And every death was on his face

But I never thought I'd see the day
The dog of honor disappear
He bought a boarding house for slaves
And drinks imported German beer

Once the bird has stopped its mouth
Once you're in this dream you don't get out

I love this imported German beer
They know how to make it over there
The bird returns to soothe my ear
I love this imported German beer

I love this imported German beer
They know how to make it over there
The bird returns to soothe my ear
I love this imported German beer
I love this imported German beer
They know how to make it over there
The bird returns to soothe my ear
I love this imported German beer

I never thought I'd see the day
I never thought I'd see the day
I never thought I'd see the day
