I bought myself back from the devil |
|
Now I'm keeping it all for myself |
|
I'm taking myself out of the program |
|
Because I know what's best for my health |
|
So why live the dream like you're running out of sleep? |
|
I'm not playing to pass time, I'm playing for keeps |
|
We only just started and you're throwing the fight |
|
You'd rather burn out than fade away |
|
Well why not both, I plan to stay |
|
So let's do this once and let's do it right |
|
I used to act like none of this mattered |
|
And I used to say I didn't care |
|
That we wouldn't be doing this forever |
|
But then the truth is that I was just scared |
|
So you put of a front to protect yourself |
|
But if we're down on the floor, why get back on the shelf? |
|
You can't change your outfit once the night has begun |
|
You've got the fuel, we've still got the fire |
|
So me and you, Jay, let's never retire |
|
Let's keep on making mistakes till we're done |
|
It won't last so be bold |
|
I'm gonna live fast and I'm gonna die old |
|
I'm gonna end my days in a house with high windows |
|
On the quiet shores in the southwest |
|
So you sort the tunes and I'll bring the beers |
|
And on my seventieth birthday I'll see you right here |
|
And together we'll watch the sun set |
|
There's no one in my coffin |
|
There's nothing in my grave |
|
I'm tired of being damned |
|
Yeah I'd rather be saved |
|
And we can never sell out |
|
Because we never bought in |
|
And if they build it back up |
|
Then we'll swing back through town |
|
And burn the whole thing down again |
|
I'm gonna live fast and I'm gonna die old |
|
I'm gonna end my days in a house with high windows |
|
On the quiet shores in the southwest |
|
So you sort the tunes and I'll bring the beers |
|
And on my seventieth birthday I'll see you right here |
|
And together we'll watch the sun set |
|
It won't last so be bold |
|
Live fast, die old |
|
Choose your path, show soul |
|
Live fast, and die old |
