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?   Or 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      Oh, you sit all alone in your rocking chair   Transistor pressed against an ear   Were you waiting at the bus stop all your life?   Or just to die by the hand of love?   Love for youth, love for youth   So live fast 'cause it won't last      Die young, stay pretty   Die young, stay pretty      Dearly near senility (dearly near senility)   Was it good or maybe you won't tell?      Die young, stay pretty   Die young, stay pretty
