Oldest Man Alive

Billy:

I’m the oldest man alive. Yeah.

Thought I’d done it all before.

You won’t believe what I’ve seen.

I’m the oldest man alive

They said we had to change our ways.

I took them seriously.

I can’t stay out here any more.

I want to see sweet Mother Earth.

I’m goin’ home. I’m going home again.

I’m crossing all these miles.

All those light years that have passed me by

Hopin’ it’s better this time.

I’m the oldest man alive

Could be better, could be worse.

I’m the oldest man

But I’m coming home.

I’m coming home again.

I’m coming home again.

 

I am the oldest man in the world

And of course I don’t look my age.

There’s no one who’s been around so long

You’ll never understand my rage.

 

I left the Earth in ’93

Not that year, ten centuries before.

Now I’m back once more and it’s clearly worse.

I was really hoping for so much more.

Crowd:

He’s the oldest man alive

And he still looks twenty-five

He’s the oldest man alive

Does he still have the will to survive?

 

Friends from the past come to my mind.

Their faces, still haunting me now.

There was no one like you, in all my past.

I should have stayed, but I didn’t know how.

 

 

 

 

Time is sliding away from me

As I travel from star to star.

I’ve been a hero, a rogue and at last

Seems I never should have traveled so far.

Crowd:

He’s the oldest man alive

And he still looks twenty-five

He’s the oldest man alive

Does he still have the will to survive?

Billy:

Look at me. I’m Billy. Try to feel something for me.

Cause I can’t feel anything.

No I won’t feel anything

I don’t want to feel anything

For the people that I need.

I can’t help what I need.

Crowd:

He’s the oldest man alive

And he still looks twenty-five

He’s the oldest man alive

Does he still have the will to survive?

He’s the oldest man alive

He’s the oldest man alive

He’s the oldest man alive

He’s the oldest man alive

He’s the oldest man alive

Billy:

I’m the oldest man alive

I’m the oldest man alive

I’m the oldest man

I’m the oldest man

Could I be Saint Germaine or

Is it just my cryogenic brain, oh.

I’m the oldest man

I’m the oldest man

Older than your blackest fryin’ pan

I’m older than Charlie Chan

I’m the oldest man

I’m the oldest man

You know I’m older than Al Capone.

I’m even older than the Rollin’ Stones

I’m the oldest man

I’m the oldest man

Dute, dute, dute, dute, dute, dutey doo

Dip, dip , dip,…
