The Conservationist

No further, no further your body does say Your feet can no longer carry you on your way If you must continue forward, I fear it might be alone For the people you came with, they don't move so slow No other, no other pointless action you shall make You'll consider every gesture and just what it would take Still, you always were for conservation, even in your prime You would never waste an arm about a body such as mine So faster and faster the world seems to go You've fallen behind and can't help but hold your own Wind the windows down and put your feet upon the pedal Drive about the town as if you're going for the gold medal Still faster and faster the world seems to spin Haven't you heard? Time will always win We'll always fade and we'll always grey But in the long run that's where I will have to stay Don't bother, don't bother Don't bother, don't bother Don't bother, don't bother yourself with this news Your children have always been capable to Go to and fro, take themselves about the town They know how to dance with their feet on the ground For though you bought the dancing shoes, provided the beat You never did take them around on your feet
