The Harpoonist & The Axe Murderer - Act Your Age lyrics

I was just a little boy My father said to me 'Don't ever play with guns Or watch too much TV'. Now I'm watching Elvis On a jumbo screen With a big ol' gun in my hand. He said 'act your age Act your age'. Ain't it strange How your body's a cage When you act your age. When I was wild and in my teens I spent all my time tasting illicit things, Smoking and drinking and being obscene, When I was in my teens. They said 'act your age Act your age'. Ain't it strange How your body's a cage When you act your age. Now I'm old and grey My children say to me (act your age, act your age) 'No howling at the moon Or drinking with the sea'. (act your age, act your age) So I'm sailing by the stars Barking oh blah dee (act your age, act your age) With a tumbler of rye in hand. They said 'act your age Act your age'. Ain't it strange How your body's a cage When you act your age.
