  • It's been your 20s feeling that you're walking on the ceiling
    And you party like you're eight feet tall
    You say work is for the birds
    Chasing dreams and mini skirts
    From here everything seem small

    Then 30's come around and you finally feel the ground
    Look around and maybe start planning
    For what the future holds
    And though you're far from old, your moisturizer's been less time tanning

    You're hanging over, but you're hanging in
    You're starting to look like all of your friends
    Conversations turnin' from rock n' roll
    To kids and politics and how much money you owe

    Got bags under your eyes, bigger hips and bigger thighs
    You got places that you can't even itch
    You can nip it, tuck it, squeeze it
    But you're never gonna beat it
    'Cause gravity's a bitch

    Forty's kinda boring
    And you spend your time ignoring the things you don't see so clear
    Your reflection in the glass is gonna knock you on you ass
    You wonder how the hell it get down here

    You're happy in your fifties
    Though things are kinda shifty
    At sixty you find peace of mind
    Go to bed at eight o'clock and comb your hair if you still got it
    'Cause you're almost at the finish line

    You're hanging over, but you're hanging in
    You're starting to look like all of your friends
    Conversations turnin' from rock n' roll
    To kids and politics and how much money you owe

    Got bags under your eyes, bigger hips and bigger thighs
    You got places that you can't even itch
    You can nip it, tuck it, squeeze it
    But you're never gonna beat it
    'Cause gravity's a bitch

    Yeah gravity's a bitch
    I'm here to tell ya
