[Intro]

A holy man with a pale, yellow liver

Crossed my palm on the banks of the river

On the banks of the river

[Verse 1]

The hands loom heavy with only an hour to go

I hold my breath but the seekers will find me

Priest and pauper, the leper, er

Can't change his spots, the King knows, and I know it, eh

And everybody knows

[Chorus]

Spring, sun, winter, dread

I don't want to get older (No way, no way)

Spring, sun, winter, dread

I don't want to get older (No way)

[Verse 2]

Are those my people, or are they barbarians all?

I need a shoulder to talk to about it

Swing the hammer, the fragments, eh

A skull exploded on you, on all you

And showers on the infant's bed

[Chorus]

Spring, sun, winter, dread

I don't want to get older (No way, no way)

Spring, sun, winter, dread

I don't want to get older (No way, no way)

Spring, sun, winter, dread

I don't want to get older (No way, no way)

Spring, sun, winter, dread

I don't want to get older (No way, no way)

[Refrain]

You are a thief and a murderer too

Stole the face that you wear from a craven baboon

’Cause you did it to her, and you did it to him

And you did it before and you'll do it again, I know it

You are a thief and a murderer too

Stole the face that you wear from a craven baboon

’Cause you did it to her, and you did it to him

And you did it before and you'll do it again, I saw it

You are a thief and a murderer too

Stole the face that you wear from a craven baboon

’Cause you did it to her, and you did it to him

And you did it before and you'll do it again, I know it

You are a thief and a murderer too

Stole the face that you wear from a craven baboon

’Cause you did it to her, and you did it to him

And you did it before and you'll do it again, I know it

You are a thief and a murderer too

Stole the face that you wear from a craven baboon

’Cause you did it to her, and you did it to him

And you did it before and you'll do it again, I know it

You are a thief and a murderer too

Stole the face that you wear from a craven baboon

’Cause you did it to her, and you did it to him

And you did it before and you'll do it again
