You can drive your car
On a poetic license
But you can't light your last cigarette
With rain soaked matches
I only regret the people I have not killed
Not the ones I have
And Bible John's an old man now
But he has not changed his ways
He's just a bit more careful now
The caution that comes with age
Now he spends his day throwing bread to the birds
Never trust anyone
Who does not trust you
I'm as honest as the day is long
However, winter is upon us
The sad fact is that if people didn't lie to each other
There'd be a lot more hatred in the world
And Bible John's an old man now
But he has not changed his ways
He's just a bit more careful now
The caution that comes with age
Now he spends his day throwing bread to the birds
And I don't fancy going all the way back to Soho
To the all night coffee shop
Just to sit there watching all the other social rejects
Sitting there drinking coffee
Staring at each other
And drinking coffee
Staring at each other
And drinking coffee
Staring at each other
And drinking coffee
I hear the hydrogen atom vibrates
At fourteen twenty megahertz
Bible John's an old man now
But he has not changed his ways
He's just a bit more careful now
The caution that comes with age
Now he spends his day throwing bread to the birds
