Fama tunes into agasaya
Aura like amberella
Ama is my govinda
All in time (all in time)
All is mine (all in time)
Fachea anima interstellar
Hidden in logorrhoea
She is an amatia
All in time
All in time
All in mine
Fama turns into agasaya

I live to enlight ya
When she was 22 the future looked bright
But she's nearly 30 now and she's out every night
I see that look in her face, she's got that look in her eye
She's thinking how did I get here and wondering why
It's sad but it's true how society says her life is already over
There's nothing to do and there's nothing to say
'Til the man of her dreams comes along
Picks her up and puts her over his shoulder
It seems so unlikely in this day and age
She's got an alright job but it's not a career
Whenever she thinks about it, it brings her to tears
'Cause all she wants is a boyfriend, she gets one night stands
She's thinking how did I get here, I'm doing all that I can
It's sad but it's true how society says her life is already over
There's nothing to do and there's nothing to say
'Til the man of her dreams comes along
Picks her up and puts her over his shoulder
It seems so unlikely in this day and age
It's sad but it's true how society says her life is already over
There's nothing to do and there's nothing to say
'Til the man of her dreams comes along
Picks her up and puts her over his shoulder
It seems so unlikely in this day and age
It's all blurred from where you stand
You're not all that high in demand
Would you want me more if I would lie
Can't love you girl - Won't even try
What you put on display is such a boring view
Rather you'd go away - I'm just so sick of you
So distant when you turn the dial
A constant haze of cold denial
You're only in it for the fame
Can't you just quit this fucking game
What you want me to be - You know I can't
Your Rocky Horror Superman
You're such a sweet little marionette
All your years of treasure
hunting for thruth and love
are stealing all your youth 22
22 is when you said you would improve
But you all had to loose,
cause you already used 22
22 is when they said
they would improve...
You keep scratching yourself
with the roses that he left on your bed
Don't forget they won't make you pretty
Imprints on your pillow case of history
Branded on that face
Your not suppose to be touchin
All them strangers my love
Don't you feel betrayed?
you thought you had it made
You shined once in the sun
Now your days as the pearl are done
22 22, is when you said
you would improve
Haven't they told you my love
youre six years past due?
the degradation of symbiosis,
archaic resolve,
modern deception
rectified in nothingness
as my hand strikes you down
my right hand shall strike you down
such disgust bathed in blood
you inhale the industrious breath
in this pathetic existence called man
if this is life, then what is death?
[Not sung...]
a looking glass view
at the man who dies alone
22, plus 30, was the first time that i saw the truth
22, minus a week or so, was the first time that i knew
That i'd never be the same
That i'd only cry on name
Ever again
For any reason
Dearest, best friend
I am yours for now and every season
I'm holding your face in my hands,
'cause the following is sincere;
You are my future plans
So allow me one more half-year
If you're not here tomorrow
I wont be anywhere at all
If your hand is there to borrow
I was only twentytwo when I met you
but something stayed with me that day
those games you played turned me away
and now theres nothing I can say
We've missed the chance to make
things right back to how they were
before cause you slipped back to your
old life you did so many times before
Do you remember all the things we
used to say? You'd be with me
forever was a promise that we made
But I was only twentytwo when I met you
but something stayed with me that day
those games you played turned me away
and now theres nothing I can say
Now that you've gone my life has
changed in almost every single way
that doesn't mean I don't miss you
I think about you every day
Do you remember all the things we
used to say? You'd be with me
forever was a promise that we made
But I was only twentytwo when I met you
but something stayed with me that day
those games you played turned me away
and now theres nothing I can say
Friday night is alright if you say that its okay...
Friday night is alright if you say that its okay, that it's okay...
But I was only twentytwo when I met you
but something stayed with me that day
those games you played turned me away
and now theres nothing I can say
The kitchen drawers were open
jot water int he bath
and the phone call that you'd promised me
I'd given up on at last
I was only 22
all undone and overdue
My friends burned all around me
and the smoke was full of you
But let's stop here for a prayer
for what happened there
and let us have a beer
for anyone who's still here
I didn't leave a letter
I just wrote my baby's name
on the mirror all steamed over
with water, hear, and shame
All hopes were long-time missing
they'd had enough of me
I found them hanging through the moon
from the Hooker oak tree
The knife was on the basin
wrapped in my baby's towel
my friend the water let me in
and I lowered myself down
Cause you can drink and you can shake
and you can dry your bitter tears
but the first to pass right through you
will age you fifty years
And you could say "well I don't know
you got to love just the same"
but I say all i got
was a phone call that never came
The towel was lying open
and it didn't hurt so bad
there was red smoke in the water
and all the things we'd had
Now honey you don't need this heart
now that I'm dead and gone
so dig me up and give me back
what I never should've lost
I was falling asleep
you see I felt a little weak
I closed my eyes and thought of you
When I'm 22
I'll be one year older than 21
And all my problems have just begun
Just like you said they should
But I'm 20 now
Been in love with you forever how
Maybe you might marry me
When I'm 23
Or 24
Or one year more you would
I'll lay and wait for all eternity
I know when you're done with all the others
You'll come back to me
Eventually
Will I ever (get to be)
Will I ever (get to be)
Will I ever (get to be)
Be your girl
Will I ever (bear your name)
Will I ever (swing your chain)
Will I ever (be yours to claim)
Ooh ohh
Before I'm 22
When I'm 25
I'll be one year younger than 26
Just look how much of the world I've missed
Staring in your eyes
But it's worth the wait
But please before I'm 28
And my bosom drapes
Or my hair turns gray
Please make up your mind
I'll lay and wait for all eternity
I know when you're done with all the others
You'll come back to me
Eventually
Will I ever (get to be)
Will I ever (get to be)
Will I ever (get to be)
Your girl
Will I ever (bear your name)
Will I ever (swing your chain)
Will I ever (be yours to claim)
Ooh ohh
Before I'm 22
Before I'm 22
Will I be with you
Will you make me your baby
Before I'm 23
Will you marry me
Tell me or I'll go crazy
When I'm 22
I'll be one year older than 21
And all my problems will have just begun
Just like you said they should
But it's worth the wait
But please before I'm 28
And my hair turns gray
Or my bosom drapes
Please make up your mind
If I'll ever (get to be)
If I'll ever (get to be)
If I'll ever (get to be)
Your girl
If I'll ever (bear your name)
If I'll ever (swing your chain)
If I'll ever (be yours to claim)
Ooh ooh
(Johnson)
For the day I'm not here, when I'm gone and I'm sorry
If I don't have time, you know what I mean
When I'm far, not far from here, when I've signed for another year
I'll be so... you know
When the white old moon's in the dead old sky
And you're looking on from the window of your own room
It is such bad luck that you will not recover
Do you believe that?
Wake up, light. This place is my right
Night, city light, I can see to the field
And I'll go there someday
I'll look back and I'll see my window
When the white old moon's in the dead old sky
And you're looking on from the window of your own room
It is such bad luck that you will not recover
Do you believe that?
You shouldn't believe that a crack in the pavement
Is to break, not be broken
