Lyrics

Sweet Oblivion

[Intro]

For all you dirty crooks out there

[Refrain]

Forgot to get old

Forgot to get old

Forgot to get old, get it on time

Forgot to get old, get it on time

Forgot to get old

[Verse 1]

Tight

Rope walkin' to the other side

To the light, yeah

Where no one really ever dies

Where no one really ever dies

[Chorus]

Oh, sweet oblivion, dear child

And we were so very young and wild

[Post-Chorus]

Forgot to get

Forgot to get

[Refrain]

Forgot to get old

Forgot to get old

Forgot to get old, get it on time

Forgot to get old, get it on time

Forgot to get old

[Verse 2]

Why?

Your chromosomes, they don't lie

So you buy

Yourselves an extra XYXY

[Chorus]

Oh, sweet oblivion, dear child

And we were so very young and wild

[Refrain]

Forgot to get (Time)

Forgot to get (Get it on time)

Forgot to get (Get it on time)

Forgot to get old (Get it on time)

Forgot to get old (Get it on time)

Forgot to get old (Get it on time)

Forgot to get old (Get it on time)

Forgot to get old, get it on time

Get it on time

Get it on time
