The Rosiness Hath Not Left My Cheeks
People Say They Still See A Light In My Eye
But My Mind's Been Coming And Going For Weeks
My Ambidextrous Thoughts Can Wander And Fly
My Clever Retorts Were Once The Talk Of The Town
Folks Would Come Talk To Me From Miles Away
Now Even On A Good Day, I'm Getting Shot Down
The Lowest Of The Low Are Winning This Game
'Twas Not Long Ago I Was The Head Of The Class
'Twixt The Two Of Us, In The Back I Could Sleep
But I'm Just A Milestone The Dunce Hath Surpassed
I'm Having Trouble Counting Up To Thirteen
Of My Future Is This A Foreshadow?
Come On, Tell Me, I'm A-Dying To Know!

So Maybe Have I Peaked?
Is It All Downhill From Here?
Is There Anything Left To Look Forward To?
Or Have My Surprised Dried Up?

Only Seventeen, But Have I Had My Best Years?
My Bones Are Cracking, Is That A Grey Hair?
I Cannot Retire, I Never Had A Career
Out In The Pasture, The Seniors Will Not Share
My Dancin' Shoes Were Once Revered
I Could Go For Hours And Still Have Gas In The Tank
Now My Feet Get Tied Up, Always Getting Jeered
And That's Just When I'm Trying To Skank
My Smooth Demeanour Got Me All Kind Of Girls
Wherever I Went, Success Was Guaranteed
Now I'm As Co-ordinated As A Tilt-A-Whirl
I'm Gettin' Shot Down In Record Speed
Oh Man, It's Four Thirty, Time For Me To Eat
And Then At Six O'Clock Is When I Go To Sleep!

So Maybe Have I Peaked?
Is It All Downhill From Here?
Is There Anything Left To Look Forward To?
Or Have My Surprises Dried Up?
