Lyrics The Tiger Lillies

The Tiger Lillies

Quick and Slow

I take a car and my hand shakes

I walk a mile my body aches

I smile but no one smiles smiles at me

I am too old too old too old too old to see

And that’s how it goes quick and slow

Yeah that’s how it goes quick and slow

I lift a chair and my back aches

I shave my lip by mistake

My ears and eyes are going going going fast

Yet no one ever even even stops to ask

And that’s how it goes quick and slow

Yeah that’s how it goes quick and slow

Treated like a child now

I play my part and tow the line

My children they cannot relate

My shelf-life’s past it’s sell-by date

And that’s how it goes yeah quick and slow

Yeah that’s how it goes quick and slow

Stagger in I’m on the bus

I try hard not to not to not to make a fuss

I turn to you life is a game

Especially when you when you when you are in pain

And that’s how it goes yeah quick and slow

Yeah that’s how it goes yeah quick and slow

Yeah that’s how it goes yeah quick and slow

Yeah that’s how it goes yeah our lives flow

Yeah that’s how it goes yeah quick and slow

Yeah that’s how it goes yeah quick and slow …
