If you’re like me, and remember all good advertisements you’ve ever seen, there were a series of car ads last year – I believe they were Nissan – which featured a car full of people gazing at incredible sights outside the car, and they pass a sign that says something like “NOW LEAVING: CHILDHOOD” or whatever.
I went whizzing by one of those signs today.
I had to choose a retirement plan.
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
