I suppose I'll be in a Nursing Home one day drooling all over myself And still plotting revenge on this world for having wronged me so, Or maybe I might just be dozing, probably having another nightmare I might find myself on a train somewhere and the conductor he suddenly announces "Next stop Dementia City After that it's Alzheimersville" I'll awake with a start And then...then I'll see her... this beautiful vision just walking in Elderly like myself but still so ladylike Still so lithe and graceful I'll tell my Nurse to quickly get my false teeth And my good wig And my walking frame And to give me a couple of those heart tablets I'd think to myself "I knew she'd come... one day" It'd be one last chance for Love... one last dash for Love.
So moving slowly but determinedly across the floor toward her I'd probably get a pain midway And then keel over She'd not see me, she'd have her back turned to me The Nurses they'd be showing her to her room She'd be walking away I'd try to call out but the words they'd get all garbled and stuck in my throat I'd try to reach out to her... reach out like she's some mirage in the desert My last gasp... my last gasp for Love But...too late... Too late, the Hero.
