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 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 Shirt Shirt Shirt

Somebody's reading your mind Damned if you know who it is They're digging through all of your files Stealing back your best ideas You cover your windows with lead Even keeping the pets outside

Then you hear, a moment too late, This sound coming over the phone:

This is the spawning of the cage and aquarium Don't wait a moment too soon Used to be different Now you're the same Yawn as your plane goes down in flames

This is the spawning of the cage and aquarium Don't wait a moment too soon Used to be different Now you're the same Yawn as your plane goes down in flames
