"Sweet Oblivion" lyrics - ANDREW BIRD

ANDREW BIRD
"Sweet Oblivion"
(Andrew Bird / Jimbo Mathus)

[Intro:]
For all you dirty crooks out there

[Refrain:]
Forgot to get old
Forgot to get old
Forgot to get old, get it on time
Forgot to get old, get it on time
Forgot to get old

Tight
Rope walkin' to the other side
To the light, yeah
Where no one really ever dies
Where no one really ever dies

[Chorus:]
Oh, sweet oblivion, dear child
And we were so very young and wild

[Post-Chorus:]
Forgot to get
Forgot to get

[Refrain:]
Forgot to get old
Forgot to get old
Forgot to get old, get it on time
Forgot to get old, get it on time
Forgot to get old

Why?
Your chromosomes, they don't lie
So you buy
Yourselves an extra XYXY

[Chorus:]
Oh, sweet oblivion, dear child
And we were so very young and wild

[Refrain:]
Forgot to get (Time)
Forgot to get (Get it on time)
Forgot to get (Get it on time)
Forgot to get old (Get it on time)
Forgot to get old (Get it on time)
Forgot to get old (Get it on time)
Forgot to get old (Get it on time)
Forgot to get old, get it on time
Get it on time
Get it on time
