I Want To Be Old Lyrics

by The Cure

I want to be old
And creek by the fire
I want to smell of rotting wood
It's all I desire
I want my joints to seize up
I want my legs to ache

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e64039-the_cure~i_want_to_be_old_lyrics.html ]
I want my eyesight to fail
I want my skin to flake
To be old
I want to be old
I want false teeth
And not be able to chew
I want to be senile
A centigenarian fool
I want lots of wrinkles
Want my hearing to go
I want to be ignored
And I want to be slow
To be old
I want to be old
