They Might Be Giants - Hope That I Get Old Before I Die lyrics

Sometimes I feel like being wispy And once in a while I feel like being dry But we're doomed and we're drowned by this feeling we surround So I hope that I get old before I die Ohhhhh It's a long, long rope they use to hang you soon I hope And I wonder why this hasn't happened Why why why And I think about the dirt that I'll be wearing for a shirt And I hope that I get old before I die Clear off the kitchen table darling For on the kitchen table I must lie I'm just tired for my wife just served the banquet of my life And I hope that I get old before I die Ohhhhh It's a long, long rope they use to hang you soon I hope And I wonder why this hasn't happened Why why why And I think about the dirt that I'll be wearing for a shirt And I hope that I get old before I die Ohhhhh It's a long, long rope they use to hang you soon I hope And I wonder why this hasn't happened Why why why And I think about the dirt that I'll be wearing for a shirt And I hope that I get old before I die
