Die young, stay pretty
Die young, stay pretty
Die young, stay pretty
Die young, stay pretty

Deteriorate in your own time
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,
Or just to die by the hand of Love?

Love for you
Love for you
So die young, and stay pretty
Leave only the best behind
Slip in sensibilities
Tragedy in your own dream

You sit down alone on your rocking chair
Transistor pressed against an ear
While you're waiting at the bus stop for your life
Or just to die by the hand of Love.

Love for you
Love for you
So live fast 'cause it won't last
Deal in near senility
Deal in 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
You got to live fast 'cause it won't last
No no no
Die young, and stay pretty
You got to live fast 'cause it won't last
No no no
Die young, and stay pretty
