The Tiger Lillies
Quick and Slow
I take a car and my hand shakes
I walk a mile my body aches
I smile but no one smiles smiles at me
I am too old too old too old too old to see
And that’s how it goes quick and slow
Yeah that’s how it goes quick and slow
I lift a chair and my back aches
I shave my lip by mistake
My ears and eyes are going going going fast
Yet no one ever even even stops to ask
And that’s how it goes quick and slow
Yeah that’s how it goes quick and slow
Treated like a child now
I play my part and tow the line
My children they cannot relate
My shelf-life’s past it’s sell-by date
And that’s how it goes yeah quick and slow
Yeah that’s how it goes quick and slow
Stagger in I’m on the bus
I try hard not to not to not to make a fuss
I turn to you life is a game
Especially when you when you when you are in pain
And that’s how it goes yeah quick and slow
Yeah that’s how it goes yeah quick and slow
Yeah that’s how it goes yeah quick and slow
Yeah that’s how it goes yeah our lives flow
Yeah that’s how it goes yeah quick and slow
Yeah that’s how it goes yeah quick and slow …
