Back Back Back

back back back in the back of your mind
 are you learning an angry language,
 tell me boy boy boy are you tending to your joy
 or are you just letting it vanquish
 back back back in the dark of your mind
 where the eyes of your demons are gleamin
 are you mad mad mad
 about the life you never had
 even when you are dreaming.
 who are these old old people
 in these nursing homes
 scowling away at nothing
 like big rag dolls just cursing at the walls
 and pulling out all of their stuffing
 every day is a door leading back to the core
 yes, old age will distill you
 and if you're this this this full of bitterness now
 some day it will just fill you
 when you sit right down in the middle of yourself
 you're gonna wanna have a comfortable chair
 so renovate your soul before you get too old
 cuz you'r egonna be housebound there
 when you're old you fold up like an envelope
 and you mail yourself right inside
 and there's nowhere to go
 except out real slow
 are you ready, boy, for that ride?
 your arrogance is gaining on you
 and so is eternity
 you better practice happiness
 you better practice humility
 you took the air, you took the time
 you were fed and you were free
 now you'd better put some beauty back
 while you got the energy
 you'd better put some beauty back, boy
 while you got the energy
