This Old Man

                                  Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme

Remember me? 'Member me?



This old man, he plays one on one

He was your cool whip master, you were his B.C. son

This old man, he's got the smell of sin

He's got the nature of sin he was your actual, factual old sin nature

Mother praying, Jesus save the boy

Save him from the old man, got away, glory, glory



Up from the water, out of the grave

Wearing a new man's clothes

The old man's dragging the lake again lately

What does he want? Mama, you don't suppose



This old man, he don't mind the gap

He's like a subway rat, he's crawling out your past

Out the dark, little land shark, little predator scavenger

Serving up sucker punch, flyweight, gonna eat your lunch



This old man, he's flicking on the brights

He's wanting squatter's rights

He's gotta have his space in your face

Get you reminiscing for the very years you wasted

Every bitter fruit you tasted gonna snare you in a stare-down



Better to choke than breathe in your curse

This old man, this old man

Better to crawl than to ride in your hearse

This old man, this old man

This old man, this old man



Up from the water, out of the grave

Wearing a new man's clothes

The old man's dragging the lake again lately

What does he want? Mama, you don't suppose



This old man, he plays seek and destroy

He comes robbing my joy, he's here spreading the rot

Old man, don't you get it? What I've got is good as gold

Good as gold, better than gold
