the steady slowing down of the heart

moonlight shines on you and me

guides the sailors back from the sea

you try sleeping

but

all that you hear is

the steady slowing down of my heart

it's not that you get lazy

it's not about getting old

it's not that you get up in the morning

wishing you'd never woke

the car i drive was built to last

it does not go particularly fast

i'm in no great hurry

is that the cause or the effect of

the steady slowing down of my heart?

it's not that i got lazy

it's not about getting old

it's just that there's no miracle cure

for getting used to someone

now

jimmy spends a fortune

because he's down to twice a week

his shrink says

a crisis in mid-life is only natural

julie got a facelift

you know

she's only 33

jesus. may i give thanks for brigitte bardot?

moonlight shines on you and me

guides the sailors back from the sea

as i lie sleeping

am i silent or do you hear

the steady slowing down of my heart?

it's not that you get lazy

it's not about getting old

it's not that you get up in the morning

wishing you'd never woke

julie was aroused by jimmy's lack of self esteem

her shrink said

when a man takes a mistress

it's often helpful

jimmy asked for help and she was happy to oblige

his shrink said

guess this was a bad year to quit smoking
