Lyrics: I Hope That I Get Old Before I Die
Album: Then-the Earlier Years
Artist: 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
