Die Young Stay Pretty (Harry/Stein) - 3:33
Die young, stay pretty
Die young, stay pretty
Die young, stay pretty
Die young, stay pretty
Deteriorate in your own time
Tell 'em you're dead and wither away
Are you living alone or with your family?
A dried-up twig on your family tree?
Are you waiting for the reaper to arrive?
Just to die by the hand of love?
Love for youth, love for youth, so
Die young and stay pretty
Leave only the best behind
Slipping sensibilities
Tragedy in your own dream
You sit down alone in your rocking chair
Transistor pressed against an ear
Are you waiting at the bus-stop all your life?
Just to die by the hand of love?
Love for youth, love for youth, so
Live fast 'cause it won't last
Dearly near senility [Dearly near senility]
Was it good or maybe you won't tell
Die young and stay pretty
You got to live fast 'cause it won't last, no, no, no
Die young and stay pretty
Live fast 'cause it won't last, no, no
Die young, stay pretty
You got to live fast 'cause it won't last, no, no, no
Die young, die young, stay pretty
Live fast 'cause it won't last, no, no, no
Die young and stay pretty
