Double Lifetime - Loudon Wainwright III

I want a double lifetime, I wanna start over

One lifetime’s not enough, I need another

Sixty-four years on a practice run

Practice makes perfect, I’m about half done

I want a double lifetime

I want a double lifetime, I don’t wanna stuff it

Three score and ten just ain’t enough, it

Feels like I finally got it all figured out

Almost free from the shame and the doubt

I want a double lifetime

A lot more time, that’s what I need

I can make my move, I can do the deed

I know I’m greedy, but what do I care

For the afterlife, I don’t wanna go there

I want a double lifetime, man I deserve it

I want it so bad, I even got the nerve

It’s gonna take to get down on my bended knees

Making prayers, saying pretty please

Give me a double lifetime

Let’s play it, Jack!

(Make mine a double!)

I want a double lifetime, I wasted my first one

The first time around, that’s always the worst one

You don’t know what you’re doing and you just can’t wait

You go ahead and do it and then it’s too late

You need a double lifetime

A lot of double life, in public and private

I wanna lead it again, I’m not gonna deny it

I’m just like you, it’s true, you know

Ask yourself: are you ready to go?

You want a double lifetime

Yeah, a little more time ‘cause you know I never

Wanna keep living forever and ever

I know it sounds funny, and truth be told

But 120 don’t seem that old

I want a double lifetime, not gonna get it

But if a miracle happens, you know I’m gonna let it

If I eat enough yogurt, maybe I might

And the second time around, I’m gonna get it right

Gimme a double lifetime

That’s getting good there… (That's getting good there…)
