Serene 20/20 hindsight:
“Sound the Silver Alert. This week I drove 40 miles just to go back to a club and retrieve a wool hat I left behind at a show. Yes, I am old. But it's wisdom born of pain. In my joints. This track is relatively young in pedigree. it's from 2017, recorded mere days before we installed in the White House a senior whose skin was the color of Metamucil.”
Song This most closely rips off
“I’m imagining some sorta Peter Gabriel song but being too lazy to actually go and look one up, this comes from the mind of dementia full cloth.”
lyrics
Pain in My Joints
written by Serene Dominic
I've seen this movie more than once
The part where you throw your hands up
And I feel like the last tightrope Walker
Old before my time running out of line
Back in the used to be
They rewarded you for your loyalty
Now I feel like a discarded model
Always in the way
Wondering what this pain in my joints?
Why do these thoughts weigh a ton?
Why does it hurt when I run?
Sound the Silver Alert
This one's ready to revert
I feel like the last tightrope Walker
Hanging on the line
Running out of time
Running out of time
