Just about a week ago 

I set out on the roof 

Seekin' my frisbee and football

And lookin for a Can of Coke 

And things got wearied and things got zarr 

I guess you know the truth 

Oh Lord, slip'n the Old Die Young 



Rode in on the school bus

I'll be walkin' the 'tuique treadmill 

I was just passin' out 

Must be a cardiac event 

Ran out - a water and energy 

Looks like they took my fan 

Oh Lord, I'm slip'n the old Die Young, 



The man from the clouds said I 

Was 'bout to Die 

Somehow I lost conciseness 

Ran out of air to breathe 

I came into a tunnel saw a light

Looks like it's an epic Fail 

Oh Lord, slip 'n the Old Die Young, 



If I only had a nickel

For every breath I breathed

Every time I'd had to listen

While people talked away

You know, I'd catch the next plane

Back to where I was before I Died

Oh Lord, Slipping The Old Die Young

Oh Lord, Slipping.'the old Die Young
