Kilimanjaro

We said we’d climb Kilimanjaro
Send our postcards from the top
No compromise, beg steal or borrow
Never stop, never stop, no

We said we fly to New York City
Climb the height of the Empire State
From the bow of the Long Island ferry
Fade away, fade away

Older than we look
Younger than we’ll ever be again
Time is all it took
In the end

We’re gonna get a 15 year mortgage
Once your boss get’s his head out of his ass
With a little luck we’ll have a couple of babies
The days are long but by the years go fast

CHORUS

Smiling big in New York City
In a photo framed upon out daughter’s wall
She scattered us on Kilimanjaro
It took a while but we got there after all

CHORUS
