Hiro's Song (Demo, 2000) - Ben Folds

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

Uh uh, uh uh, uh uh, uh uh

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 super nova

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 super nova, yeah

Uh uh, uh uh, uh uh, uh uh

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

Coz 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

Coz she had back stage 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 super nova, 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 shes 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 super nova

Alright

Alright bring the saxes in

that's good, keep it up

okay some more overtones, bring in the tamborines

yeah, shit yeah

baby, come on
