Jon Kelly - The Last Waltz lyrics

[Verse 1] Don't feel bad if you wake up feeling suddenly old More the realisation that you've let yourself be covered by mould Age is not something you wrap up if you're feeling the cold It's a laugh ten times harder at a joke eleven times told [Chorus] Down to the churchyard, check out the vaults Dig up the coffins, unscrew the bolts No better reminder, no strong enough salts To show this pitiful few that we've missed the last waltz That we've missed the last waltz... [Verse 2] Don't feel bad if you're feeling past your sell-by date Like the roller coaster ride slowed down to a serious debate Oh, the whether you tell them you're ready or whether you wait Does someone place a hand on your shoulder and point the way to the gate [Chorus] [Outro] You don't count the birthdays 'til your out on your own They come thicker and faster and too damn late to postpone And wisdom's the last thing the scientists willing to clone Science advances, maturity dances alone Science advances, maturity dances alone...
