She's takin' me places
I should never have been
She's showin' me faces
I should never have seen
Well these are strange days
We're livin' in today
"C'est la vie", I say

I hope I'm old
(I hope I'm old)
Before I die
I hope I'll live to relive the days gone by
I hope I'm old
(I hope I'm old)
Before I die
Well tonight I'm gonna live for today
So come along for the ride
I hope I'm old before I die

She's not feelin' stable
She's unable to breathe
Her heart's beatin' faster
So I'll ask her to leave
These are strange days
We're livin' in today
Am I straight or gay?

I hope I'm old
(I hope I'm old)
Before I die
I hope I'll live to see the day the Pope gets high
I hope I'm old
(I hope I'm old)
Before I die
Well tonight I'm gonna live for today
So come along for the ride
I hope I'm old before I die

Well these are strange days
We're livin' in today
"C'est la vie", I say, I say, I say

I hope I'm old
(I hope I'm old)
Before I die
I hope I'll live to relive the days gone by
I hope I'm old
(I hope I'm old)
Before I die
But tonight I'm gonna live for today
So come along for the ride
I hope I'm old before I die

I hope I'm old before, old before I die
Old before, old before I die
Die, die, die
Old before I die
Die, die, die
