64 not out
here I am baby you know where to find me
im back in the USA yeah you gotta be across all that
im in a holiday inn in Long Beach how rocknroll is that?
im playing a rock festival in a few hours oh boy
so old still leading this childish life
hummin’ n a’strummin’ all over gods world
and I like it I like it I like it I like it
here we go o rockin’ all over the world
fuckin’ rock n roll baby hail hail hail
me and my bass yeah
im a dumb ass old rocker going deaf and laying down a riff
starfish the album in its ENTIRE fucking TY
Ploog n Marty long gone I say oh my n a boo hoo
but we got Tim n Haugy n Caino boy those cats sure know how to rock
they make it look easy
thirty years just slipped by in the twinkling of an eye
all that stuff disappeared into times maw
im still here baby rockin n rollin
not yet in ashes or in jail or in some lonely place
still quaffing the applause and drinking limelight juice
still twinkling around that old stagey stage ha ha listen to me
some pale ole Cassius clay spruiking his fading star into the ether
still fuck you’ll miss me when im fucking gone
when I’ve sung UTMW for the final gig n they lay me down in my cheap box
when my voice of ripped velvet is silent
when my nimble fingers are stiff and cold
ha ha ha
no more starfish then
‘less they get a replacement n fuckin carry on with it
good luck to em
and that idiot whoever ever it is replaceth me
good luck old son rock hard and remember to lunge
suffer the slings n arrows of outrageous fortune you ninny
cos being a rocker is the best gig in the world
bar nun
