I used to live among the young and the roses I saw the gold in the eyes of my friends I want it back I want to taste it again So many days burned up on the thought My yellow brick road might be a parking lot Try not to tell me the end Cause I've been spending my time on mortality Spending my time on mortality I've been Spending my time on mortality I'll be dead before I'm gone It's a funny time in human history To be playing your song if no one's listening Maybe I made a mistake But I find most of this life is worth writing down There's a light that catches up with the sound It puts a smile on my face All the while I'm spending my time on mortality Spending my time on mortality I've been Spending my time on mortality I'll be dead before I'm gone Look around Sun come out Nobody stops a raging sea I figured out That you won't give up on me I used to live among the young and the roses I saw the gold in the eyes of my friends I want it back I want to taste it again Cause I've been spending my time on mortality Spending my time on mortality I've been Spending my time on mortality I'll be dead before I'm gone
