When I’m a Hundred Sixty-Four Lyrics

[Dr. Voight-Kampff: Rutger Hauer]
"Modern science has extended human life. But is longevity what you really want? Be careful what you wish for ... Come on ... face the music!"



[Arjen Anthony Lucassen]
Will I still be active, passionate and full of life?
Or will I feel redundant
Yearning for the day I'll die

Will I still be relevant, or will I be ignored?
Never thought I'd wonder
What the future has in store
When I'm a hundred sixty-four

Where will I be living, marble palace or dirt floor?
When will I get my pension
I wouldn't want to work no more
When I'm a hundred sixty-four

Will I turn grey, or sport a toupee?
Or even care anymore
At a hundred sixty-four

I hope I'll still be noticed
Turning heads like before
Will I be cool or nerdy, up-to-date or dinosaur
When I'm a hundred sixty-four
Will I be lazy, stuck in my chair
It all seems so crazy, guess I won't care anymore
At a hundred sixty-four
I might just be bored
At a hundred sixty-four

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
