Hey old man- How have you been? I can see that life has not been kind to you Even though you always held the door open for her She went and left you all alone with your seashell bones And a lifetime supply of TV dinners All that I can give to you, besides this useless gratitude Here's a plastic line to divide your junk food from mine In exchange for the service you've offered Traces of ones you love linger in the air This I know to be so, this I know to be so Here today; tomorrow going, going, gone Here today; tomorrow going, going, gone Hey old man- How have you been? I can see that life has not been kind to you Sometimes it's hard to tell the wish from the well With all of these pictures of before and after Traces of ones you love linger in the air This I know to be so, this I know to be so Here today; tomorrow going, going, gone Here today; tomorrow going, going, gone Pushing my way through the crowd of the lottery Jackpot junkies; everybody's losing like you knew Everybody's losing, losing, losing at something now Traces of ones you love linger in the air This I know to be so, this I know to be so Here today; tomorrow going, going, gone Here today; tomorrow going, going, gone
