We don't last long, we don't last long,
Compared to trees, compared to trees.
We are perishable, we are perishable,
Turn into waste, turn into waste.

What's our best before, what's our best before?
Is it thirty, is it thirty?
Is it forty, is it forty?
Fifty even, fifty even?
If we're old enough, if we're old enough,
We know in retrospect, we know in restropect,
When was peak us, when was peak us.

What happens afterwards, what happens afterwards?
Loss of stamina, loss of stamina,
Less agility, less agility,
Less flexibility, less flexibility,
Slower to adapt, slower to adapt.
That's what age does, that's what age does.

It's ok though, it's ok though:
Who'd wanna live forever, who'd wanna live forever?
I sure do not, I sure do not.
Danced a good life, danced a good life,
Still do some stuff, still do some stuff,
Happy mortality, happy mortality,
Happy mortality, fading fine!
