Ben Folds - Hiro's Song lyrics
[Ben Folds - Hiro's Song lyrics]
My name is Hiro, I am 51
Since 1980, Life has been no fun and I
Don't wanna die!
I left my family for the secretary
Ha ha, ha ha, ha ha, ha ha
Her name is Yuko, she is 22
She and my daughter were best
Friends in high school
They say I'm crazy and it's temporary
But, I refuse to rot like my contemporaries
I, I wanna explode in a karaoke supernova
I don't wanna grow old
Won't you let me, won't you let me explode
I don't wanna grow old
Won't you let me, won't you let me explode
In a karaoke supernova, yeah
Ha ha, ha ha, ha ha, ha ha
Last night she dressed me up in Hip-Hop pants
The phat-G style that rides below your ass
She wants to show me to her mom and dad
I told her I would not be down with that
'Cause lately I can feel the years between us
And hope to God that friends
At work don't see us
Tonight she asked me if I'd ever seen Jesus
'Cause she had backstage passes for
The three of us
I don't wanna grow old
Won't you let me, won't you let me explode
I don't wanna grow old
Won't you let me, won't you let me explode
Uh oh in a karaoke supernova, yeah
So now she's gone and broke my heart
God damn her turns out she's been fucking
This drum programmer she likes his style
She likes his rock-star glamour
Well she's an infant
He can damn well have her
I don't wanna grow old
Won't you let me, won't you let me explode
I don't wanna grow old
Won't you let me, won't you let me explode
I don't wanna grow old (Don't wanna grow old)
Won't you let me, won't you let me explode
I don't wanna grow old (Don't wanna grow old)
Won't you let me, won't you let me explode
Uh oh in a karaoke supernova
Alright alright bring the saxes in
That's good, keep it up
Okay some more overtones
Bring in the tambourines yeah, shit yeah
More shit, come on bring in some more shit
Baby, come on alright
It's all, it's all me baby, come on! Yeah!
Since 1980, Life has been no fun and I
Don't wanna die!

I don't wanna grow old
Won't you let me, won't you let me explode
I don't wanna grow old
Won't you let me, won't you let me explode
In a karaoke supernova, yeah
Ha ha, ha ha, ha ha, ha ha
