lyrics

It's the sixteenth and I'm thinking
that I'm sure that I've forgotten
someone's turning a year older
or the milk will soon be rotten
Nothing's scribbled in my datebook
but a notice to reorder
Though the very thing I'm out of
is the thing I don't remember

CHORUS:
Is that my ball in your backyard?
Twenty years ago I left this dragon standing guard
but nothing that I am has stayed the same
I guess I thought that dragons could be tamed

There's a string around my finger
Several notes under a magnet
A message light is blinking
in the dark so I can find it
Oh, I used to love to read
the universe and its intentions
but the older that I get
the more it hurts to pay attention

CHORUS

He ate the calendars and clocks
and slept right through the clatter
of someone picking all the locks
on everything that matters

CHORUS
