People my age
have started looking gross
i cannot say all
and i shouldn't say most
i've seen 'em in the grocery
i've seen 'em up close
(continued)
and people my age
have started looking gross
People my age
are showing some wear
there's holes where their teeth was
and their heads have gone bare
their brains are shrinking
faces sinking into fat
and as for the mirror
we won't be looking into that
People my age
have started looking gross
maybe not in colorado
or up the silicon coast
back in pennsylvania
i'd eat scrapple on toast
those were my first steps
on the road to looking gross
People my age
are looking overripe
some are getting operations
to tighten up what ain't tight
what gravity's ruined
they try to fix with a knife
what's pleasant in the darkness
is plain scary in the light
Gross
