Old Man Jimmy by The Killers Lyrics

Birthday, Jimmy it’s your birthday
You’re watching the years slip away
Until the day that you pass away
Oh birthday, Jimmy it’s your birthday
Your number of retired jokes are few
We are going to dig a hole to hold you
How will you die?
Dying old man in your bed
Will the people cry to learn you’re dead?
Will your heart explode in your chest?
Will you mourn the sins left unconfessed?
Will it be a car crash twist in the metal wreck?
Will you fall down the stairs and break your neck or…?

Choke on a bone?
Drown in the mud?
Jimmy how will it end?

Old man Jimmy is soon to die? (Soon to die)
Ashes float up to the sky
Old man Jimmy is soon to die? (Soon to die)
Soon to die
Maggots coming out of your eyes

Birthday, Jimmy it’s your birthday
Grasping for all your yesterdays as they slowly waste away

How will you die?
Probably forgotten alone crying out in vain for anyone
Will you die in flames or maybe freeze?
From starvation, suicide, disease…
Will they slit your throat, shoot you dead
Will your brain corrode inside your head…
Or on a [commode]?
Will the world explode?
Jimmy where does it end?

Old man Jimmy (Old man Jimmy) is soon to die (Soon to die)
Ashes float up to the sky
Old man Jimmy (Old man Jimmy) is soon to die. (Soon to die)
Maggots coming out of your eyes

Old man Jimmy is soon to die
Time to go kiss your wife and kids goodbye
Old man Jimmy is soon to die
And then his body will be covered in flies
Die! Die! Die!
Come on
Die! Die! Die!
Old man Jimmy is going to die
Old man Jimmy is going to die
Oh Jimmy Kimmel, it’s your time to die
