Hole — Old Age
[Intro]
And I will await your highness
I'm so high I cannot walk
And I will await
You cripple
You take away my time
My peace, my empathy
No babies sleep on atrophy
Your unborn love and fetal stress
Hard bitter candy, legless caress
[Verse 1]
What was she for Halloween?
The ugliest girl you've ever seen
Someday she will die alone
[Verse 2]
What was she for Valentine's?
An old forgotten concubine
Someday she will die for no one
[Chorus]
She seems to me to know
All that glitters is sour
All that lies in her place
Jesus saves
Old age
Old age
Old age
[Verse 3]
It's okay to kill your idols
Just pretend you have no rivals
We all know that she is friendless
[Verse 4]
Spits at mirrors; it's not an issue
Just remove the hateful tissue
We all know her rage is endless
[Chorus]
She seems to me to know
All that glitters is sour
All that lies in her place
Jesus saves
Old age
Old age
Old age
Old age
[Bridge]
And then she begs and she says, "Pretty please?"
I'll make her pure again; I'll make her clean
[Verse 5]
No one knows she's Hester Prynne
Someone please tell Anne Boleyn
Chokers are back in again
[Verse 6]
Someday she won't have to fake it
Living will itself seem sacred
Someday she will just refuse
[Chorus]
She seems to me to know
All that glitters is sour
All that lies in her place
Jesus saves
Old age
Old age
Old age
Jesus saves
Old age
[Outro]
(Rest in pieces) I'm sorry
(Me in pieces) So sorry
(Rest in pieces) I'm sorry
(Me in pieces) So sorry
