Old man, sitting there
He's so fine, in his chair
Watching him grow his hair
It's so long, he doesn't care

He just keeps waiting for the day
When Mother Earth takes him away
He just keeps waiting for the day
A pod is waiting for him
A pod is waiting for him

Old woman, lying there
With blue dye in her hair
Sweet smell of love endured
It's so strong, it's in the air

She just keeps waiting for the day
When Father Time takes her away
She just keeps waiting for the day
A pod is waiting for her
A pod is waiting for her
A pod is waiting for her
A pod is waiting for her

Old folks, there you go
There's something that they know
Count down the days ahead
Or have fun and stay in bed

They just keep waiting for the day
When pearly gates show them the way
They just keep waiting for the day
A pod is waiting for them
A pod is waiting for them
A pod is waiting for them
A pod is waiting for them

When your time has come, it's come
What you've done is all you've done
Now it's gone, yes it's gone
When your time has come, it's come
What you've done is all you've done
