First verse by Dragonfly, next and every other
verse by Lady Bleaux.

To the winds of time
We are just scraps of paper
Dancing to their tune

Dancing to their tune
but can't remember the name
Lapse in the synapse

Lapse in the synapse
Another real good name for
Old-timer's disease

Old-timer's disease
came a knocking at my door...
Hey you can't come in!

Heyyy you can't come in
with those dirty work boots on
Leave outside, dozo

Leave outside, dozo
all those troublesome ole woes
Let's share happiness

Let's share happiness
Like a bottle of fine wine
It's better when aged

It's better when aged
Ohhh yes, older and bolder!
Let the good times roll!

Let the good times roll
while your wheels are nice and round
It's a rocky road

It's a rocky road
and the rocks have a saying
Slow down, walk with ease

Slow down, walk with ease
Take time to enjoy the view
It changes each day

It changes each day
It should, consistency is...
a small mind's virtue

A small mind's virtue
Is sort of like a dull knife
Pretty but useless

Pretty but useless
yet beauty holds mystery
It's secrets untold...

It's secrets untold
and it's face hidden from all
My inner self

My inner self
Freely wild and rebellious
Why won't it behave!?

Why won't it behave
Like a good memory should
I need some good sleep

I need some good sleep
Pleads the poor insomniac
Wrestling 'neath the stars...

Wrestling 'neath the stars
can be the best exercise
with the right partner

With the right partner
A person is more enriched
Life holds more meaning...

Life holds more meaning
Than a thistle in the wind
Drifting with no goals

Drifting with no goals
on a lazy Saturday
Laid back and chill'n

Laid back and chill'n
Just day dreams and butterflies
Whatta you mean work?

Whatta you mean work?
It's sure not on my word list
Heyy, let's go fishing!

Heyy, let's go fishing
the catfish are schooling and
I have some liver

I have some liver
it's function is important
A vital organ

A vital organ
Is one you don't want to lose
They're hard to replace

They're hard to replace
and in your heart forever
That one special friend...

That one special friend
Is sure full of surprises
He just stole my dog

He just stole my dog
during our marriage break up
Low down dirty cad!

Low down dirty cad
Skunk, rotten back biting snake
Grasping, foul lawyer

Grasping, foul lawyer
Just hope you'll never need one
Stay out of trouble!

Stay out of trouble
Pick some flowers, hug a tree
You will live longer

You will live longer
When enjoying laughs and love
Embrace each moment...

Embrace each moment
Before it slip-slides away
It never returns

It never returns
and not ever recaptured
The radiance of youth
