The routine of life gets me down
Everyday I’m getting older and older
On my face I have a frown
Won´t go away till I’m feeling happier
Julia smiles, I’m in summer
I don’t know why she’s smiling at me
She’s got my mind, she’s got my body
Everything’s alright with me
I’ve lost the road to Damascus
I’m a dinosaur who’s out of touch
Technology just confuses me
I break everything that I touch
And she smiles, Julia smiles
Right there in front of me
There she goes, she’s at it again
Why does she do this to me?
I couldn’t climb the career ladder
I fell off at the very first strut
Wanted to be a captain of industry
I set sail and I sunk my yacht
The routine of life gets me down
Everyday I´m getting older and older
On my face I had a frown
Julia smiled
And she, well she just made me feel happier
