son, when I grow old

will you buy me

a house of gold?

and when your father

turns to stone

will you

take care

of me?

she asked me

son, when I grow old

will you buy me

a house of gold?

and when your father

turns to stone

will you

take care

of me?

I will make you

queen of everything

you see

I'll put you on the map

I'll cure you of disease

let's say we up and left

this town

and turned our future

upside down

we'll make pretend

that you and me

lived ever

after happily

she asked me

son, when I grow old

will you buy me

a house of gold?

and when your father

turns to stone

will you

take care

of me?

I will make you

queen of everything

you see

I'll put you on the map

I'll cure you of disease

Oh!

and since we know

that dreams are dead

and life turns plan

up on their head

I will plan to be a bum

So I just might

become someone

she asked me

son, when I grow old

will you buy me

a house of gold?

and when your father

turns to stone

will you

take care

of me?

I will make you

queen of everything

you see

I'll put you on the map

I'll cure you of disease
