I feel much older now But not because I have myself more years to count I got more to think about Like why and how Got a second look at a common crook and he left me in doubt Like sugar on top, blind man smiles when it hits his mouth So lets all go out Put your best clothes on that people talk about But don’t you turn around Cause you might see clearly what you’re looking at Nor this nor that no What it seems to be is what it seems to me Is just a face put on, hide the eyes Carry on and turn the truth to lies It's just like candy and coke And it's like killer in coats Among the people and folks Standing in mirrors and smoke It's just like candy and coke And all the people we know Among the people and folks Standing in mirrors and smoke Oo la la lay Oo la la low Oh la la lay I lay low, I lay low So let's think on back To your neighbor's home where you used to go But don’t you dare back Don’t you dare go back, no Now I’ve come to terms With a certain clean comes a certain germ And I’m concerned that the clean I’ve seen is overturned I just read Mrs. Jones was found With her husband down at the corner crown Bought a bag of sunshine just to pass around Rolled two bones and threw the rest all out And Mr. Tom with a big white house Put a party on with his other spouse And outside smoking was the mayor's kid Joking bout then what his daddy did Storm passes by and the dust settles in The smoke fades away The black kettle cools and the coals lay dim And the smoke fades away Coward lay day when the courage begins And the smoke fades away You face looks down and the eyes look in And the smoke fades away The smoke fades away Oo la la lay Oo la la low Oh la la lay I lay low, I lay low Oo la la lay Oo la la low Oh la la lay I lay low, I lay low
