She asked me: «Son, when I grow old

will you buy me a house of gold?

And when your father turns to stone

will you take care of me?»

She asked me: «Son, when I grow old

And when your father turns to stone

I will make you

queen of everything you see,

I’ll put you on the map,

I’ll cure you of disease.

Let’s say we up and left this town

and turned our future upside down,

we’ll make pretend that you and me

live ever after happily.

And since we know that dreams are dead

and life turns plans up on their head,

I will plan to be a bum

so I just might become someone.
