Don't Call Me Ishmael - Longevity

One day you will wake and you will find
That you lived your life like some kind of mayfly
And you'll have nothing to show
For all of the open goals that you missed when
It would have been easier to score them

Oh you're the Queen of Brevity the Queen of Brevity

Well you you never had the staying power
The stamina for more than half an hour
Oh attention span is not something you possess

There is something to say for building a legacy
A cannon of work that rises above mediocrity

Oh you're the Queen of Brevity I'm the King of Longevity
Oh with my stubborn personality I'm the King of Longevity

Well I I covet your talent all I can be is gallant in defeat
A plucky loser with no chance of winning

Oh you're the Queen of Brevity I'm the King of Longevity
Oh I'll be filling my obituary I'm the King of Longevity
