Concrete Animals Secret Origins lyrics

Well I'm feeling like a turtle who has lost his shell.
Fretting day and night, don't want to go to hell.
Nothing to show for all the things I bought.
No dishes eating off the table cloth.
I keep recalling nightmares of a bitter past,
old man why's you have to go so fast?

I'm waking up early at the crack of dawn and every night I'm chewing my fingers to the bone.
I never cared about your secret origins, I only said that you were my best friend.
Eyes reflecting sparks you gotta pay your dues,

whoever you are you have to go through you.

Some drunk driver took my grandma.
No I never met her but I heard a lot.
The kids were in the backseat scared as hell, feeling like turtles who had lost their shells.
The thing about life is that it never lasts,
old man why'd you have to go so fast?
