[Verse 1]

If you croak, I hope you know I'm gonna toss you in the trash

You can't really blame us, we're only doing what you asked

If you have yourself a son, I'm gonna tell your baby boy

That Father Time's chock full of lies, so don't jump in just yet


[Verse 2]

Doubting Thomas deserves much more than we can give

If we win the lottery, let's buy an island just for him

So when that hurricane tries beating down the door

We can make him bat its eye 'til it can't see what's a...

Until we can't see what's ahead


[Chorus]

Until we can't see what's ahead

You can sew me in stitches, curse at the cautious

While it lasts

'Cause soon we'll all forget


[Verse 3]

If we croak, I hope you know it's gonna be in single files

Hunting for models that were never worth the while

[Chorus]

Until we can't see what's ahead

You can sew me in stitches, and curse at the cautious

While it lasts

'Cause soon we'll all forget


[Post-Chorus]

Until we can't see what's up there

Until we can't see what's up there


[Chorus]

Until we can't see what's ahead

You can sew me in stitches, and curse at the cautious

While it lasts

'Cause soon we'll all for—

Soon we'll all forget
