Paroles de Ponce de Leon

Just like Ponce de Leon I've travelled far and wide When all is said and done Have I enjoyed the ride ? You're puttin' me on Is this the best it gets ? I haven't jumped the ship This trip's not over yet Everywhere I go I see the world around me Growing small, moving faster Will this be my disaster ? Everyone I know Has counted up their losses While I'm still climbing mountains Tossing coins into fountains Just like Ponce de Leon I'm running out of time I've conquered all my fears I've suffered for my crimes You're leadin' me on It's either sink or swim And when I think I'm done I'm ready to begin Everyone I know Has given up on daydreams Socked away their possessions Got enslaved to professions Everywhere I go I'm thirstin' for a chance To show the world that I'm clever So I might live forever. . . . Just like Ponce de Leon. . . . End up at a rest home in south Florida
