i hope that i get old before i die

Singer:they might be giants

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
