I Don't Feel Particularly Old

I don't feel particularly old
But I look it
Most advice in my life that I've been told
I never took it

When I look in the mirror Keith Richards looks back at me
The best things in life are not necessarily free
I don't feel particularly old, but I look it

I don't feel particularly old
Like I'm supposed to
Be mature and increasingly less bold
Like most do

When I think about sex now I'm a dirty old man
What used to come natural gets clandestine
I don't feel particularly old, like I'm supposed to

And it's looking less and less likely
That this thing is going to turn around any day
And besides, there's nothing I can do about this anyway

I don't feel particularly old
Just closer to my future
Too much past and some present to be sold
For just a little future

I could have my face pulled back into a permanent smile
I could buy a little time, I could buy some denial

I don't feel particularly old, just closer to my future
