about

I’d gotten back from a trip to India and spent a month hallucinating with fever, unable to keep food down and feeling like death - a premonition of old age. There’s no ignoring it, we’ll all experience the slow, cruel decline. So, suck it up! Don’t act all surprised when it’s on you, you were warned!
- Nick

lyrics

Its waiting for us all on down the line
The amusement park of your slow decline
Before they put you in the box and wrap you in foam
You got to do your time in the nursing home

You might be young and pretty, you might be rich
But when you’re all washed up it don’t count one stitch
Cos just like the roads that all lead to Rome
Everybody lands in the Nursing Home

They give you lots of pills
Keep you amused while you make your will
You got lots of crazy friends
All clawing on to life until the bitter end

Well they all talk sweetly and they call you dear
But don’t count for much coz you can’t hear
You got aches in your joints and pains in your bones
And that’s the gig in the Nursing Home

Crazy people running ‘round in night gowns
Swinging from the ceiling, as their toast gets cold

Well they wheel you in about half past nine
You put the beads in the basket til it’s lunch time
Stare into space and dribble in your food
You can crap in your pants if you’re in the mood

Well you might go graceful when its time to quit
But my friend, I wouldn’t count on it
Cos on your way to the twilight zone
You got to do your time in the Nursing Home
