That's the road It's over there And leading down to nowhere. This is the age when you're allowed To have your own care If you were half so bright You'd plan your life ahead Instead of waiting 'til you're old in your bed. I'll be over tonight If you say you might I'll be over tonight Need to put you right. I'm so used to waiting that's entirely Your decision don't be restricted By the weightless views you're given If you were half so bright you fight them From the head Instead of saving 'til your young heart is dead. I'll be over tonight Well I know what you wrote in your overcoat But don't want to take it too far Oh I think you won't but I know that you don't You always say that you are Never let the riches that my endless need will give you Show some concern for all the love That you must live through If you were half so bright You'd plan your life ahead Instead of waiting 'til you're old in your bed.
