I've got a hunger
Twisting my stomach into knots
That my tongue has tied off.

My brain's repeating
"If you've got an impulse let it out"
But they never make it past my mouth.

Baa bah, this is the sound of settling.
Baa bah, baa bah.
Baa bah, this is the sound of settling.
Baa bah, baa bah.

Our youth is fleeting
Old age is just around the bend
And I can't wait to go grey.

And I know I’ll wonder
About the love that could've been
If I’d only thought of something charming to say.

Baa bah, this is the sound of settling.
Baa bah, baa bah.
Baa bah, this is the sound of settling.
Baa bah, baa bah.
Baa bah.
