Lyrics

Android

[Verse 1]

Hey, old man in woman's shoes

I wonder if he knows I think he's crazy

When he was young, did he have dreams of

Wearing woman's shoes and being crazy?

[Chorus]

It makes me wonder when

I grow to be that age

Will I be walking down the street

Begging for your spare change?

Or will I grow that old?

Will I still be around?

The way I carry on, I'll end up

Six feet underground and waste away...

[Verse 2]

When the old man was in school

Did the golden rules make him go crazy?

Or did he hide away from hopes

Behind a smile and smoking dope? It's crazy

[Chorus]

It makes me wonder when

I grow to be that age

Will I be walking down the street

Begging for your spare change?

Or will I grow that old?

Will I still be around?

The way I carry on, I'll end up

Six feet underground and waste away...

[Bridge]

And it seems so frightening

Time passes by like lightning

Before you know it, you're struck down

I always waste my time on

My chemical emotions

It keeps my head spinning around

And waste away...

[Interlude]

(I'm just going to leave it here)

(Somebody else can do it.. hahaha)

[Outro]

It seems so frightening

Time passes by like lightning

Before you know it, you're struck down

I always waste my time on

My chemical emotions

It keeps my head spinning around

Waste away...
