Roman a Clef - Roman Clay (27 BC) lyrics

I took a train today To help you on your way To a life of respectability I have always respected your agility Our friends have all grown up No kids Some still kids at 27 Told me it hasn't been the same I agree completely You used to live with all of your friends Now you make plans to spend time With people you don't want to see That's the cost of growing up He said to you But I don't buy it Have you thought this whole thing through? You said: "I want to knit you a letter I want to write you a love sweater" Cadence sure but undeserved Everyone laughed But you've been thinking ever since About the virtue of the statement you have never been so sure
