Waters - Mickey Mantle lyrics

rate me

Never thought to light a candle

Never thought I had to gamble

I was feeling Mickey Mantle, wasted

Driving up the 1, I'm frantic

Turn into an old romantic

I was sleeping in the attic, waiting

Can't nobody ever see?

Don't make a mess of me

I ain't too old to give a shit

I could turn a train around

I could take your country down

I ain't too young to regret

Forever, forever, forever,

I ain't too young

Forever, forever,

I ain't too young

Forever, forever,

I ain't too young

I was in New York, living

Waiting in the cold Thanksgiving

Hoping I could ever dare to embrace it

I could play a part uptown,

I could keep my nose on the ground

Never thought I'd ever care just to face it

I could never understand

I was just a foolish fan,

Taken to the edge just to see

Who said your mother was right?

Who said your friends were just fine?

Who could tell you that I was free?

Forever, forever, forever,

I ain't too young.

Forever, forever,

I ain't too young

Forever, forever,

I ain't too young

Forever, forever,

I ain't too young

I was in New York, living

Waiting in the cold Thanksgiving

Hoping I could ever dare to embrace it
