It’s a golden time
Or so I’m told
It’s an odd century
For the sensitive
It’s so hard to live
And the callous all succeed
Take a look around
At this world I’ve found
Like a lost worker bee
It’s a grown-up time for me
In this day and age
I don’t fit in
Having never made money
I keep throwing salt
Think it’s all my fault
And it wasn’t meant to be
I keep drinking soap
Wash it down with hope
It’s an odd recipe
It’s a grown-up time for me
So drink some water with your wine
Lost and lonely friends of mine
It’s a grown-up time
Well it’s a grown-up time
When some friends have gone
Did they have to fly away?
I will live my life in honor of those
Who cannot be with us today
For each passing year
I will shed a tear
And be swept out to sea
It’s a grown-up time, baby
So drink some water with your wine
Lost and lonely friends of mine
It’s a grown-up time
