When Can We Be

When the sun freezes over

And the pigs start to fly

When the show's finally over

And there's a tear in my eye

When our faces are all wrinkled

And we've lost all our teeth

If not now, when can we be?

When the trains are on time and (choo-choo)

We stop missing our flights

You'll learn to save up

I'll admit I'm not right

When you stop drinking too much

And I stop losing my keys

Oh, if not now, when can we

Dance upon the rooftops?

Get drunk and laugh until we fall off?

And fight until we call it all off

Like we do?

If only we knew

That the moon won't turn blue (won't turn blue)

That I won't last forever

And neither will you (and neither will you)

'Cause when I close both my eyes

It's your face that I see

So if not now, when can we be?
