[01:10.38] Happy birthday, you're halfway to 60
[01:16.57] You have no land of your own
[01:19.04] A job you despise
[01:20.28] And a lover that's mean
[01:22.78]
[01:24.35] And you started noticing a disturbing thing
[01:29.72]
[01:31.85] Birds eating other birds just beyond the screen
[01:37.47]
[01:38.23] So you packed up your things and hopped on the freeway headed east
[01:43.66]
[01:44.85] And you drove for eight days aimlessly
[01:52.80] Telling yourself to be humble
[01:54.94] Singing to yourself to be free
[01:58.75]
[01:59.69] Being full aware that it's a middle aged crisis type thing
[02:05.78]
[02:06.40] And you drove 'til you saw a sign for a town called Luckey
[02:13.43] Spelled L-U-C-K-E-Y
[02:19.24]
[02:20.80] Where the sugar towers rise til the line and meet the streets
[02:25.80]
[02:27.49] Checked into a motel, slept on cardboard sheets
[02:33.19]
[02:34.80] I covered the bloodstained matress underneath
[02:41.05]
[02:41.87] to Went the local bar and you got yourself a drink
[02:47.78]
[02:52.97] Telling yourself to be humble
[02:55.35]
[02:56.13] Singing to yourself to be free
[02:59.32] It's a middle aged crisis type thing
[03:05.07]
[03:20.50] It was the most ragtag group you had ever seen
[03:26.38]
[03:27.19] A slender man with a moustache, a bow tie and nothing between
[03:33.19]
[03:34.32] Looking like a preacher son who had given in the devil-worshipping scene
[03:40.63] He was a real looker and he bought you a drink
[03:46.63]
[03:48.07] And you proceeded to tell him everything
[03:54.76]
[03:55.57] And you were getting a bit hysterical it seemed
[04:02.56] You laughed like a carburettor then you screamed
[04:08.82]
[04:09.56] Oh the doubt and the disbelief
[04:16.07]
[04:21.00] Telling yourself to be humble
[04:24.19] Singing to yourself to be free
[04:27.32] It's a middle aged crisis type thing
[04:32.69]
[04:34.31] And he told you how he came to be
[04:40.23]
[04:41.36] As an alterboy by his father's knees
[04:48.23] And how he came to lose his faith
[04:53.80]
[04:55.11] There was no touching but advances were made
[05:01.64]
[05:02.27] And his father's hand in slow motion it was approaching him
[05:08.64]
[05:09.39] And the doubt and disbelief crept over his young heart like the black ocean
[05:16.09]
[05:16.97] A stormcloud, a hurricane if you will
[05:21.47]
[05:23.65] A stormcloud, a hurricane
[05:27.65]
[05:34.91] Telling yourself to be humble
[05:38.15] Singing to yourself to be free
[05:41.28] It's a middle aged crisis type thing
[05:46.97]
[05:49.00] Go home lady, find yourself happy
[05:55.19] It's just a middle aged crisis type thing
[06:01.07]
[06:02.44] It's a middle aged crisis type thing
[06:07.93]
[06:09.44] It's a middle aged crisis type thing
[06:14.57]
[06:16.15] It's a middle aged crisis type thing
[06:23.14]
[06:23.71] It's a middle aged crisis type thing
[06:29.40]
[06:30.52] It's a middle aged crisis type thing
