A senile patient in the nursing home
Dementia took his wife he's as good as all alone
He can't remember anything can't function on his own
Age is really nothing but a cruel cruel joke
Weeks turn into years it's a fate worse than death
Can't communicate trapped in a hospital bed
Who would call this living can't function on your own
Age is really nothing but a cruel cruel joke
Yeah age is really nothing but a cruel cruel joke
Age is really nothing but a cruel cruel joke
And I'm a little ashamed to say it but I'm afraid of getting old
Trapped inside my wheelchair just an aching set of bones
Not the boy you fell in love with but a sad and helpless man
You used to light up with excitement now you can't remember who I am
Who I am
