Sloan - DIGNIFIED AND OLD lyrics

rate me

(J. Richman/The Modern Lovers - The Modern Lovers, 1975)

My telephone never rings

She'd never call me

I hate myself today

But I can see through this bitterness and sadness

And so I won't die

Someday I think I'll be dignified and old

Well my friends say that I deceive myself

And that I contradict myself

And I can't say if they're right

But I'm not ashamed

Oh I can take a challenge

And so I won't die

Someday I'll be dignified and old

And I say, hey kids

(Hey kids)

I said, hey kids

(Hey kids)

I say someday we'll be dignified and old

That's right

I said some day we'll be dignified

(Hey kids, Hey kids)

Someday we'll be dignified

(Hey kids, Hey kids)

Someday we could be dignified and old together

Well now

Look at the mountain

My girl and I used to stand on the mountain

And the sun shines, she's dead, and I cry

But I can see through this death and the sadness

And so I won't die now

Someday I wanna be dignified and old

Well now, see the desert

I sit all alone in the desert

And no girl understands me

But I can see through this bleakness and grey and sadness

And well I won't die now

Someday I'll be dignified and old

I say, you, don't die now

Someday we'll be dignified and old together
