The Golden Age Of Not Even Trying

[Verse 1]
And I'll jump in the sea
Wearing all of my clothes
And I'll swim out from this red patch
To the pier and its old bones
And the tide will sweep me out
And I'll swim back to land
And I'll walk through this old valley
And I'll smile as I stand

[Chorus]
We could stay here, and sing songs for better days
We could stay here, and we won't fade away
How could you ever deny it?
The golden age of not even trying

[Verse 2]
And I miss the old man
Who played harmonica on the street
Oh, He played it with such character
These days that's rare to see
And It's rare to be an artist
And it's rare that we have a cause
And It's rare to stand by anything we say
These days, we are all whores

[Chorus]
We could stay here, and sing songs for better days
We could stay here, and we won't fade away
How could you ever deny it?
The golden age of not even trying

[Bridge]
There’s a head in the water
There’s someone at sea
I shouldn't waste my time personifying
These damned waves, as they are trying

Oh, it's our golden age
Oh, it's our golden age

[Chorus]
We could stay here, and sing songs for better days
We could stay here, and we won't fade away
How could you ever deny it?
The golden age of not even trying

[Verse 4:]
There's a head in the water
There is someone at sea
Oh, there is someone
Oh, there is someone!
Yeah, there is someone!

[Chorus]
We could stay here, and sing songs for better days
We could stay here, and we won't fade away- oh!
(How could you ever deny it?)
I don't know!
The golden age of not even trying
