The Sound of Settling

I've got a hunger, twisting my stomach into knots

That my tongue is tied off

My brain's repeating,

"If you've got an impulse, let it out"

But they never make it past my mouth

Bop-ba (bop-ba)

This is the sound of settling

Bop-ba, bop-ba (bop-ba)

Bop-ba (bop-ba)

This is the sound of settling

Bop-ba, bop-ba (bop-ba-a)

Our youth is fleeting

Old age is just around the bend

And I can't wait to go gray

And I'll sit and wonder

Of every love that could have been

If I'd only thought of something charming to say

Bop-ba (bop-ba)

This is the sound of settling

Bop-ba, bop-ba (bop-ba)

Bop-ba (bop-ba)

This is the sound of settling

Bop-ba, bop-ba (bop-ba)

Bop-ba (bop-ba)

This is the sound of settling

Bop-ba, bop-ba (bop-ba)

Bop-ba (bop-ba)

This is the sound of settling

Bop-ba, bop-ba (bop-ba)

I've got a hunger, twisting my stomach into knots
