  • 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 Writer/s: CHRISTOPHER STEIN, DEBORAH HARRY
