Lyrics
0:25Oh to have a pristine claw
0:29These hands are old and sore
0:33The knuckles they ache
0:35The bones they do break
0:37Oh to have a youthful frown
0:42Bleed on the surgeon's gown
0:46Put plastic in me
0:47I'm perfect you see
0:50Don't look older than 43
0:53But really I'm 70
0:56Now run young man
0:57And get my pills from the pharmacy
1:02Rearrange my face for a hefty fee
1:05I can't change the inside of me
1:08I'm a vampire of the 21st century
1:24Oh to have a pristine claw
1:28Marry the doctor when I'm poor
1:32A face I can love
1:34A cut that's above
1:36If the aliens landed here
1:41They'd see why we're so weird
1:45We're destined to die
1:47We're destined to die
1:49Don't look older than 43
1:52But really I'm 70
1:55Now run young man
1:56And get my pills from the pharmacy
2:01Rearrange my face for a hefty fee
2:04I can't change the inside of me
2:07I'm a vampire of the 21st century
2:13That's me that's me that's me that's me
2:20That's me that's me that's me that's me
2:26That's me that's me that's me that's me
Oh to have a pristine claw These hands are old and sore The knuckles they ache The bones they do break Oh to have a youthful frown Bleed on the surgeon's gown Put plastic in me I'm perfect you see Don't look older than 43 But really I'm 70 Now run young man And get my pills from the pharmacy Rearrange my face for a hefty fee I can't change the inside of me I'm a vampire of the 21st century Oh to have a pristine claw Marry the doctor when I'm poor A face I can love A cut that's above If the aliens landed here They'd see why we're so weird We're destined to die We're destined to die Don't look older than 43 But really I'm 70 Now run young man And get my pills from the pharmacy Rearrange my face for a hefty fee I can't change the inside of me I'm a vampire of the 21st century That's me that's me that's me that's me That's me that's me that's me that's me That's me that's me that's me that's me
