Free Four

[00:00.39] One, two, free four!

[00:16.91] The memories of a man in his old age

[00:21.18] Are the deeds of a man in his prime.

[00:27.16] You shuffle in the gloom of the sickroom

[00:30.94] And talk to yourself as you die.

[00:40.84] Life is a short warm moment

[00:44.59] And death is a long cold rest.

[00:50.61] You get your chance to try

[00:52.60] In the twinkling of an eye:

[00:54.35] Eighty years, with luck, or even less.

[01:03.84] So all aboard for the American tour,

[01:08.11] And maybe you'll make it to the top.

[01:13.62] But mind how you go.

[01:15.60] I can tell you, 'cause I know.

[01:17.62] You may find it hard to get off.

[01:50.60] You are the angel of death

[01:54.65] And I am the dead man's son.

[02:00.18] He was buried like a mole in a fox hole.

[02:04.00] And everyone is still on the run.

[02:13.75] And who is the master of fox hounds?

[02:17.50] And who says the hunt has begun?

[02:23.49] And who calls the tune in the courtroom?

[02:26.75] And who beats the funeral drum?

[02:36.73] The memories of a man in his old age

[02:40.48] Are the deeds of a man in his prime.

[02:46.51] You shuffle in the gloom of the sickroom

[02:50.00] And talk to yourself as you die.
