[Verse 1] You said that you would love me if I were a worm So now I wonder if the time has come for me to return (I don't know why I felt like cryin' then) (A worm ain't got no eyes) You said you'd do it if you could just turn into a worm You wouldn't have to wait for me to die and You would not get hurt (I don't know why I felt like cryin' then) (But then I opened my eyes) The older we get The more it all hurts We'd all be much better Off as worms [Chorus] But then who would eat the apples And who would watch the world burn The older we get The more it all hurts (So) You go first [Verse 2] So go and get the acid and go put it in the jar And all we need is a tiny tank We'll call it your new car (I don't know why I felt like cryin' then) But I'll give you a ride And I could take you to the park and put you on the grass And if I were your size I'd ask to ride your back But I would have to be a worm (But I ain't no worm) So go on and open your eyes (The older we get) (The more it all hurts) (We'd all be much better) (Off as worms) [Chorus] But then who would eat the apples And who would watch the world burn The older we get The more it all hurts You go first You go first You go first You go first You go first You go first You go first You go first
