Facelifts, nose jobs
and lots of lyposuction,
folks are getting upgraded
at a rate of mass production

where will be the character
that years so kindly give
as our youth falls away so silently
while we go on to live

where will be the lines of age
that show our progress still
the beauty of smiling eyes
over years gives me a thrill

everyone will look the same
in some 20 years
but I will look much older,
for I don't have their fears

so let gravity effect me,
years of living too,
and when you meet me later on
age will present myself to you.
