[Intro]
[Chorus 1]
She asked me, "Son, when I grow old,
Will you buy me a house of gold?
And when your father turns to stone,
Will you take care of me?"
[Chorus 2]
She asked me, "Son, when I grow old,
Will you buy me a house of gold?
And when your father turns to stone,
Will you take care of me?"
[Bridge 1]
I will make you
Queen of everything you see
I'll put you on the map
I'll cure you of disease
[Verse 1]
Let's say we up and left this town
And turned our future upside-down
We'll make pretend that you and me
Lived ever after, happily
[Chorus 3]
She asked me, "Son, when I grow old,
Will you buy me a house of gold?
And when your father turns to stone,
Will you take care of me?"
[Bridge 2]
I will make you
Queen of everything you see
I'll put you on the map
I'll cure you of disease
[Verse 2]
And since we know that dreams are dead
And life turns plans up on their head
I will plan to be a bum
So I just might become someone
[Chorus 4]
She asked me, "Son, when I grow old,
Will you buy me a house of gold?
And when your father turns to stone,
Will you take care of me?"
[Bridge 3]
I will make you
Queen of everything you see
I'll put you on the map
I'll cure you of disease
