my name is hiro
i am fifty one
since nineteen eighty
life has been no fun
and i don't wanna die
i left my family for the secretary
her name is yuko
she is twenty two
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 wanna explode
in a karaoke supernova
i don't wanna grow old
won't you let me
won't you let me explode
in a karaoke supernova
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
cause 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
cause she had backstage passes for three of us
i don't wanna grow old
won't you let me
won't you let me explode
in a karaoke supernova
so now she's gone and broke my heart, goddamn her
turns out she's been fucking his drum programmer
she likes his style
she likes his rock star glamour
well, she's 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 in a karaoke supernova
