It's 50/50 that you'll ever pad your knee enough to ever kneel on it.
Your back hurts, the Orthapedist labels it arthritis.
I think that means we're getting old,
so I crawl up the tower of your body

I am the man who was fired from a thousand jobs

She bought herself her own apartment
That was when she told me
