I used to run like the wind
And find empty spaces
I used to carry the live wire
And spark conversation

I remember riding when my hair would blow
Flowing nowhere
All the pretty faces that I used to know have
Left me somewhere

And there are days where I long to find that youthful energy
Carried by earthen roads for days upon my feet
Now I'm just sittin' here
Listenin' to them say

[Chorus]
Bye bye life
(You can't stop now the grey years are coming)
Bye bye life
(The middle parts are good for nothing)
You can never go back again

I used to play in the evening show
Then I'd count my praises
I used to smile and away I'd go
With the invitation

I recall a friend who couldn't let go
Of sacred places
Together we swore we would never grow old
Of this sensation

And these are days when I'd like to bite into a slice of time
I gotta feed these rubber legs and make them come alive
But I'm just sittin' here
Listenin' to them say

[Chorus]

Is this distorted perception?
Or am I expecting too much?
The lack of creative conception is messing with me inside

And there are days where I long to find that youthful energy
Carried by earthen roads for days upon my feet
Now I'm just sittin' here
Listenin' to them say

[Chorus]
