And I hope I learn, before I get old
When I feel so co-oh-oh-old
I've been inside for days
Watching curtains as they sway
Rain just falling like a blade
Police tape blocking off half the road
Bit fragments of some kid's phone
And a white bouquet on a traffic cone
With four cans of super tea
Having heated conversations
With those I can't even see
Tomorrow we'll swallow today
And I hope I learn, before I get old
When I feel so co-oh-oh-old
Passing the queue for the pharmacy
Another little bottle of side effects
Another blue pill for your tired sex
And this rain it keeps on falling
Hollywood stars on the black tarpaulin
And there's the man behind the counter in the shop
The one the kids take the piss out of
And I wish that they would stop
And tomorrow, we'll laugh at today
And I hope I learn, before I get old
When I feel so co-oh-oh-old
