My Old Man

My old man's got a problem
He'll ask me a question
Then ask me another
Until he runs out
He calls me 10 times a day
To ask why I called him
And what the fuzz is all about
And he sings songs of when he was a little boy
How he used to enjoy his mother's pancakes

My old man's got a problem
Can't play the piano
Well he kinda never did
Still sits there for hours
Cuz someone had taught him back when he was a kid
And the thing that has him is gaining speed
And he can not explain what he needs

And he looks around and sees
How everybody's moving
And he looks around and sees
It's just an ordinary day
And he looks at me when I pass by
But he just looks right through me
He only can remember this song that goes
Ta da da da

And he comes up and goes under again
Just clinging onto life
And he comes up and goes under again
He's struggling to survive
And he can not say the words
And he lost all track of time
And he comes up and goes under comes up and goes under comes up and goes under again

And he looks around and sees
How everybody's moving
And he looks around and sees
It's just an ordinary day
And he looks at me when I pass by
But he just looks right through me
Cuz he can not remember my name but
Ta da da da
