lyrics
This is the golden age of obscurity where no one remembers your name
I’d tell you that I love you, but you’d still feel the same
The waitress takes her time with me
I can’t decide what I want to eat
So I order one of everything and ask her out on a date
This is the golden age
This is the golden age of infirmity where everyone ‘round you is lame
I’d tell you that I want you though you don’t deserve the blame
But I have nothing left but you
The others have all fallen through
There’s nothing left for me to do
I need to make the most of this new golden age
Bright times are here every time that you’re near
Though I’ve lost my resolve to keep you close to me
I’d tell you that you’re my love but you’re back
Far too soon. Far too soon
And now I’m packing up my bags
Yeah I’m packing up my bags
And I’m making hasty tracks into the sunset
Into the sunset
Well the golden age is heading straight this way
But I’ll stay with you come what may
This golden age is here to stay but still I’d better run
‘Cause the golden age is coming round the bend
My days of sloth are at an end
But still it’s doubtful that I’ll send you any letters from the golden age
I’d tell you that I love you, but you’d still feel the same
The waitress takes her time with me
I can’t decide what I want to eat
So I order one of everything and ask her out on a date
This is the golden age
This is the golden age of infirmity where everyone ‘round you is lame
I’d tell you that I want you though you don’t deserve the blame
But I have nothing left but you
The others have all fallen through
There’s nothing left for me to do
I need to make the most of this new golden age
Bright times are here every time that you’re near
Though I’ve lost my resolve to keep you close to me
I’d tell you that you’re my love but you’re back
Far too soon. Far too soon
And now I’m packing up my bags
Yeah I’m packing up my bags
And I’m making hasty tracks into the sunset
Into the sunset
Well the golden age is heading straight this way
But I’ll stay with you come what may
This golden age is here to stay but still I’d better run
‘Cause the golden age is coming round the bend
My days of sloth are at an end
But still it’s doubtful that I’ll send you any letters from the golden age
