These Barren Years

Pepper your paper with spelling mistakes Befriend the popular and piss-rip the geeks Catwalk your blue shoes for attention's sake Sniff up the glue pots and put on the shakes Line up the punch lines till the class cracks up You keep your head low, till the pressure's stopped Pull all the stops out for future 'Wife of the Month' Promise to hold her through blindness and health And we'll sing Grow old with me (we'll share the pitfalls) We'll fill the sea (answer the cat calls) We'll watch the world (fall from the inside) We'll watch the world (fall from the inside) How long will this last? How long will this last? How long will this last; these, the barren years? Promise to hold her through these barren years And we'll sing Grow old with me (we'll share the pitfalls) We'll fill the sea (answer the cat calls) We'll watch the world (fall from the inside) We'll watch the world (fall from the inside) Grow old with me (we'll share the pitfalls) We'll fill the sea (answer the cat calls) We'll watch the world (fall from the inside) We'll watch the world (fall from the inside) Grow old with me (we'll share the pitfalls) We'll fill the sea (answer the cat calls) We'll watch the world (fall from the inside) We'll take the world (down from the inside)
