Beautiful and smooth and so young when they die
 Soon they will be forgotten and won't ever be seen again
 Sometimes you keep them in your mind

 Some may be appealing and some other may be not
 There are so many they vary from unacceptable to hot
 You'll never get to know them, you never will recall their names
 You call it sad, but you don't mind

 Some are straight and settled in the daylight
 Smear face when the rain pours down
 I remember the words of the stranger:
 Live fast and you die with a sound

 So that's the story that's the way it has to be
 Unless you change your fulsome attitude
 release your vanity
 For we are only mortal
 and on the day the curtain falls
 You'll see me laughing all the time

 Some are straight and settled in the daylight
 Smear face when the rain pours down
 I remember the words of the stranger:
 Live fast and you die with a sound
