Lyrics

When I was young I was the closest to her heart We were like one person but we've drifted far apart Now when I need her most she will not support me And if I won't go quietly she'll have to report me She wants me to act like some middle-aged man I used to think she knew me but she can't understand That it's hard to make a living doing watercolor and collage That's why I'm forty years old and I'm living in my mom's garage My girlfriend's all but finished with her graduate degree She always knows the questions when we're watching Jeopardy There's a coffee house near campus where her work is on display Critics from the weekly paper go there every day She's a true creative which they cannot abide So they compensate by being condescending and snide They say her work's a mangled mess of macramรฉ and mucilage But they're all forty years old and They're living in their mom's garage I am forty years old and I'm living in my mom's ga- Forty years old and I'm living in my mom's ga- Forty years old and I'm living in my mom's garage My hobbies are Godzilla movies, mountain biking and triage I've got to relax 'cause I get so stressed From this incessant negative barrage Mom wakes me up, she needs the car for what I can't say She dresses up and goes out early almost every day I try to explain that an artist needs his rest At least twelve hours so I can be my best And now I'm outside sleeping under the hedge But someday they'll recognize me as the genius with an edge I'll meet with the New York elite, I'll be the duke of decoupage With a car hold full of limos for my sycophantic entourage Hey, at least I'm chasing something even if it's only a mirage But now I'm forty years old and I'm living in my mom's ga- Forty years old and I'm living in my mom's ga- Forty years old and I'm living in my mom's garage Yeah, forty years old and I'm living in my mom's ga- Forty years old and I'm living in my mom's ga- Forty years old and I'm living in my mom's garage
