Before I Get Old Lyrics - New Model Army

I'm going to kiss the girls, make them cry 

Live too fast, still not die, before I get old 

I'm going to see you raised above this place 

Watch the moments shine upon your face 

Before I get old 

I'll watch the sun set over every sea 

From every city wall, every mountain peak 

Before I get old 

The Northern Lights and the Southern Cross 

The harvests and the miles of dust 

And the blowing wind across the world 

So wrap this coat around yourself 

And leave what's done behind 

There's so much left for us to do 

And yet there's so little time 

I'm going to pull the fences to the ground 

Watch the twisted towers come crumbling down 

And start again 

I want to be a hero and a villain and a father and a son 

Take care of my body and abuse it still 

Until everything goes numb 

So let's make this dance and never fear 

That there's any real reason why we're all here 

Live real fast, still not die 

Before I get old
