Clocks are still ticking
Trains are still running
The bus goes by my house every day
But I, I miss the beat of things
Since ... I don't know when or why
The old folks talk the old talk
The jaded folks talk jaded
The smart folks talk the smart talk
What do I talk?
I don't talk much anymore
The old folks talk the old talk
The jaded folks talk jaded
The smart folks talk the smart talk
What do I talk
I don't talk much anymore
My world
Does not work anymore
It stopped some time ago
I don't know when or why
I am sitting
At my kitchen window
Birds come by
I feed them seeds
And we start talking
Sorry, I don't want to sound rude
But I don't care much
About your ways
And how you carry yourself
Birds come by
I feed them seeds
And we start talking
My world
Does not work anymore
It stopped working some time ago
I don't know when or why
Fare well
Fare well
Folks
When you stop the music
The birds will fly off
And I will be gone, gone, gone
Fare well
Fare well
