Jandek - Twenty-Four Lyrics

Just turn the page to twenty-three
Tomorrow be twenty-four in the morning
A new day, late at night
It's not the same, it's a mystery, a history

You're gonna live until you die
It makes you shake, it knocks you out
A blinding light, black as night

Being born, you got no choice
You're gonna live until you die
Fifty-two years old today
Forty-four yesterday

It's all mixed up, don't make no sense
Just turn the page to twenty-four
There may be a hundred, there been before
You might have been somebody else

Your world is shaking, it makes you shake
Might as well go on and shake
Just turn the page to twenty-three
You're gonna live until you die
