Ben Folds Five - Hiro's Song lyrics

i am fifty one

since nineteen eighty

life has been no fun

and i don't wanna die

i left my family for the secretary

her name is yuko

she is twenty two

she and my daughter

were best friends in high school

they say i'm crazy and it's temporary

but i refuse to rot

like my contemporaries

i wanna explode

in a karaoke supernova

i don't wanna grow old

won't you let me

won't you let me explode

in a karaoke supernova

last night she dressed me up

in hip hop pants

the phat g-style

that rides below your ass

she wants to show me

to her mom and dad

i told her

i would not be down with that

cause lately i can feel the years between us

and hope to god that friends at work don't see us

tonight she asked me if i'd ever seen jesus

cause she had backstage passes for three of us

i don't wanna grow old

won't you let me

won't you let me explode

in a karaoke supernova

so now she's gone and broke my heart, goddamn her

turns out she's been fucking his drum programmer

she likes his style

she likes his rock star glamour

well, she's an infant

he can damn well have her

i don't wanna grow old

won't you let me

won't you let me explode in a karaoke supernova
