The Ballad of Paul K.

He's drinking cold Corona.
Feels like he's getting older now,
I'm noticing how he's finding
Grey hairs left in the shower.
Tattooes fade by the hour and,
I can't understand these feelings.

Why life is getting him down,
He used to smile now he frowns.
And cries inside.
It's been this way for a while
And he can't seem to put things right.

When life has been unkind.
And you're losing your mind.
Look in the mirror, afraid of what you'll find,
Feels like time's not on your side.

He doesn't like to mention,
Applying for his pension so,
His children don't know he's heading.
Into a mid-life crisis.
He can't afford the prices for
The new kitchen floor he's buying.

He's been a drunk all his life.
Two kids, a dog and a wife.
He doesn't know.
And in the daytime he just sits and watched television shows.

Don't know why but somehow
The ones you loved you hate now,
You feel down and blue.
Look at what you've thrown away.
They stood beside you all the way.
Now it's too late.
It's too late for you.

Hmm. That song got me thinking. Since the cover of the English textbook said that Ballads are "Stories In Verse", it set me thinking that this is the only song I'm sure is a ballad. It's sad, actually. But I read long time ago that this song referred to Danny (from McFLY)'s father. It's really sad. Why'd he just throw away his life like that? WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TO?!?!
Oh, and Gee is a guy(:
