You will laugh and you will cry
You and everyone you know will die
And all you've got in between is time
I was a young man once
I was beautiful too
We've been helped along this road
By countless loving souls
But they never told us where to go
We had to find that on our own
We had to find that on our own
So now I'm showing you my teeth
I heard the midnight cry
I saw it in my mother's eyes
We are growing old
I heard the midnight cry
Life's a bitch and then you die
But not before growing old
I am a young man still
And I'm still beautiful too
