Older Than My Old Man Now Lyrics - Older Than My Old Man Now - Loudon Wainwright Iii

If I remain still 

If I am alone and silent long enough to hear the sound of my own blood 

Breathing or digesting about the rustling of leaves the world of refrigerator 

My father is likely to turn up 

He just arrived on bidding on running film of my thoughts 

Like Hitchcock and his pictures 

And he looks of all these 40 plus years of ? 

Just much like himself big and hairs hands with ? at the back of his hands 

Perhaps a little more defeated the way it holds himself than I have remembered 

He doesn't stay long and as far as I can tell his visit has no message 

Yet years of therapy have left me and make the dark ? claim that he is finally dead and gone 

My father who died when I was seventeen continues to be my principle ghost 

A lifelong and announced grease only my own end will finish it 

Older than my old man now 

He died at 63 that is way too young 

Now you got to feed me now you got to need me 

Now I feel like a hitler son sixty four is awful 

You don't know what can happen next 

I am older than my old man ever was 

I try to keep it in context 

I am older than my old man 

His father died and 43 now is all grey 

I got 20 years more I guess we have to wait and see 

I wasn't sure the day will come 

I have been living underneath his ? 

I don't feel so free I don't feel like me 

Now that I don't have no place to run 

I am older than my old man now 

I guess that means I kicked his ass 

Just that you have survived ? nobody is sure exactly why 

Everybody has to die 

Still it comes this ? know you got to go 

And the world is gonna pass you by 

I am older than my old man 

I am older than my old man ever was 

I try to keep it in context 

I am older than my old man ever was 

I am guilty to outlive my ex
