作词 : Flansburgh, Linnell 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
