Lyrics I Hope That I Get Old Before I Die - 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
