Stay Young @ Heart

Retired, hopeless wonder

Spilling his thoughts onto an LP love letter

Your last goodbye to a forgotten generation

Spending your money without hesitation

 

Live fast only to die young

We'll remember you for the last song you sung.

 

Shot to stardom on an ounce of success

Delivering the sound only you detest

In the news for the week you're on the scene

They capture you as you lose the dream

 

I remember you for the eponymous

While your sophomore sits collecting dust

The more days you age, the less we know

Of how good you were at playing shows

 

Live fast only to die young

We'll remember you for the last song you sung.
