No.506 What’s Wrong with Being Old?

[Verse 1]
There’s no telling how much longer fossil fuels will last.
On sunny days, I ride my motorcycle.
To cut down on gasoline consumption.
On rainy days, I choose the car for safety.

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Car engines have large displacements.
A motorcycle’s displacement is just one-tenth of that.

[Chorus 1]
We’ve been together a long time;
It’s looking pretty worn out now.
Even though it’s just a machine,
I’m too attached to let it go.

[Verse 2]
It’s not that I’m thinking about environmental issues;
I’m simply looking at cost-effectiveness.
Btu if I don’t use it, the battery dies,
So a long stretch of sunny weather is actually a problem.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I’m interested in hybrids and electric vehicles,
But they’re too expensive for me to buy.

[Chorus 2]
We’ve been together a long time;
It’s looking pretty worn out now.
Even though it’s just a machine,
I’m too attached to let it go.

[Verse 3]
The trends have left me behind
And feel a bit out of date.
But that doesn’t bother me;
The happiness of “cutting-edge is fleeting.

[Pre-Chorus 3]
It gradually fades away as time goes by.

By the time you realize it, it’s already too late.

[Chorus 3]
We’ve been together a long time;
It’s looking pretty worn out now.
Even though it’s just a machine,
I’m too attached to let it go.

[Bridge]
My car is a tall station wagon.
A big, eight-seater vehicle.
Meanwhile, my motorcycle
Is an off-road type with a high seat.

[Final Chorus]
We’ve been together a long time;
It’s looking pretty worn out now.
Even though it’s just a machine,
I’m too attached to let it go.
