lyrics

He's in his prime
Met her online
It's a hop a skip a jump to the arcade they call McCool's

Goes there cause' it's cheap
Gives a couple quarters to his date
Acts like he relates
Has no idea so he fakes cause he's focused on his game (the Addam's Family pinball machine)
Once they use up all the change he invites her to his place
Says "sorry for the mess" then they start to get undressed
He's easy, she's depressed and she left her son home in the nest cause "mommie's having dinner with a friend"

He's in his prime
Doing more than fine
The doorman never makes him wait in line
He'll crush mad cans

They finish, he doesn't have much to offer
Some cheez-its, a dad joke, some Dr. Thunder
So she calls up an Uber and they wait there, It's awkward
Post-sex-brain in light rain
It's the west end of Hartford
Smokey Gorra will ignore ya only cause' he's heard it all before
While she rants bout' gentrification he hums to an ear-worm (a guitar line from Pavement)

Oh now he's on the fire escape watching trains go by
Cause he's in his Prime
This is his time and he knows that it won't always be so easy
Ba, ba ba ba bahhh
Smokey Gorra knows exactly what he wants

He's in his prime
This is his time and he'll tilt it like a pinball machine while he can
