It is not the radio
It is the alarm clock
It’s no use to keep hitting snooze
You’re searching for your glasses now
They’re on your head
You left them on last night when you went to bed
The trees
are throwing off their leaves
While you’re sitting there losing your teeth
You are losing it, losing it
You are losing it, losing it
You can’t do a thing to stop it from happening
You could use somebody now
who’s on your side
when you’re serious about the ghosts you see at night
You feel observed they’re chasing you
they want the mouse dead
The trap is triggered and snaps and who knows who’s next
You are losing it, losing it
You are losing it, losing it
You can’t do a thing to stop it from happening
You are losing it, losing it
You are losing it, losing it
You can’t do a thing to stop it from happening
to stop it from happening
…
Pretending that it’s easy to let go
Flower’s ready for spring underneath the snow
You thought that you can keep what you have found
When surprises lift you up turn it around
…other part, no longer sung
Your family agrees that it’s better it’s the only way
To focus our attention on the challenge to keep you safe
We wouldn’t want to worry about the stories that might unfold
So please just sit there like a stone, while you get old.
