lyrics

Coming of age but they’ve got a decade on you…
Varicose veins are a stubborn stain of youth…
Choke on the lump in your throat again
Hold your breath until you’re blue in the face
Stopped putting shit up your nose, you still stink the same

Web MD just pronounced you dead!
GP swears it’s likely all in your head,
Says have you tried doing yoga, and cutting out stress?
IT DIDN'T TAKE!
It never takes.

The hips don’t lie, but the bad knees telling the truth.
Varicose veins are a stubborn stain on youth
You can’t use this sack of flesh how you want to
A wasted privilege that haunts you.

And it’s not your fault either
It’s not my fault either no, never was…
Either, of our faults neither of us jump.

Before we slip into the ether, let go the branch you cling - to instinctively defeated by a fear of gravity.
Oh how you’ve longed to take the weight off, your own two decrepit feet.
Have a giggle at the joke of facing our fragility.

Cause the hips don’t lie, and the bad knees telling the truth.
Varicose veins are a stubborn stain on youth
You can’t drag this sack of flesh out of its slump
And all your joints pray that you don’t jump.

Don’t jump.

Coming of age
And it ain’t coming alone.
