The Ballad of Paul K lyrics

He's drinking cold Corona

Feels like he's getting older now

And noticing how he's finding

Gray hairs left in the shower

Tattoos fade by the hour and

He can't understand these feelings

Why life is getting him down

He used to smile, now he frowns

And cries inside

It's been this way for a while and

He can't seem to put things right

When life has been unkind (oh, oh, oh)

And you're losing your mind (oh, oh, oh)

Look in the mirror, afraid of what you'll find

It feels like time's not on your side

He doesn't like to mention

Applying for his pension so

His children don't know he's heading

Into a midlife crisis

He can't afford the prices for

The new kitchen floor he's buying

He's been a drunk all his life

Two kids, a dog, and a wife

He doesn't know

And in the daytime he just sits and

Watches television shows

When life has been unkind (oh, oh, oh)

And you're losing your mind (oh, oh, oh)

Look in the mirror, afraid of what you'll find

It feels like time's not on your side

Don't know why, but somehow

The ones you loved you hate now

You feel down and blue

Look at what you've thrown away

They stood beside you all the way

Now it's too late

It's too late for you

When life has been unkind (oh, oh, oh)

And you're losing your mind (oh, oh, oh)

Look in the mirror, afraid of what you'll find

It feels like time's not on your side
