Verse 1
The memories of a man in his old age are the deeds of a man in his prime.
You shuffle in the gloom in a sickroom and talk to yourself as you die.
Verse 2
And life is a short, warm moment, and death is a long cold rest.
You get your chance to try in the twinkling of an eye:
Eighty years, with luck, or even less.
Verse 3
So all aboard for the American tour, and maybe you'll make it to the top.
But mind how you go, and I can tell you, 'cause I know.
You may find it hard to get off.

Verse 4
And you are the angel of death and I am the dead man's son.
He was buried like a mole in a fox hole.
And everyone's still on the run.
Verse 5
And who is the master of fox hounds?
And who says the hunt has begun?
And who calls the tune in the courtroom?
And who beats the funeral drum?
Verse 6
The memories of a man in his old age are the deeds of a man in his prime.
You shuffle in the gloom of a sickroom and talk to yourself as you die.
