Growing old is the most modern thing in our lives
Our beards grow and our hair fall to reveal our bald heads
Our children grow old and time says that this time it means it
Other people die and we learn how to forget
I don't want to die because I want to see
How does it feel to grow old
I want to live to see what's the fuss about it
And come to tell me what will happen
I want this carpet to fly
In the middle of the living room
I want the pressure cooker to put pressure
And the sink to drip
I want the alarm goes on
And that I get up from the sofa
I want to put Rita Pavone's song
As a ring-tone on my phone
I want to be in the eye of the hurricane
So that I can enjoy it
And when I forget my own name
Please call me "Old man"
Because being a teenager forever is outdated
What does it feel to grow old
I don't know why people turn their faces to the present day and forget how to learn
That fortunately or unfortunately that time flies by
I don't want to die because I want to see
How does it feel to grow old
I want to live to see what's the fuss about it
And come to tell me what will happen
I want this carpet to fly
In the middle of the living room
I want the pressure cooker to put pressure
And the sink to drip
I want the alarm goes on
And that I get up from the sofa
I want to put Rita Pavone's song
As a ring-tone on my phone
I want to be in the eye of the hurricane
So that I can enjoy it
And when I forget my own name
Please call me "Old man"
