Good Die Young Lyrics

CITY AIR, TOXIC TASTE
A GIRL FALLS FROM INNOCENT GRACE
WHERE PLEASURE HAS IT'S PRICE
LOOKING INTO YOUR EYES YOUR EYES
ARE OPEN ARE OPEN WIDE
NO TIES NO SURPRISE IN YOUR EYES
ARE OPEN WIDE

WONDER IF YOU GOT THE CHANCE
TO LET YOUR REAL FEELINGS SHOW
DRY EYES MEN AND WOMEN LOOKING

INTO YOUR EYES YOUR EYES
ARE OPEN ARE OPEN WIDE
NO TIES NO SURPRISE IN YOUR EYES
ARE OPEN WIDE

NOW I'M HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY
HAPPY JUST TO SEE YOU WITH A FRIEND NOW AND THEN
HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY
MUSIC CHANGES BUT THE DANCE STEPS DON'T
WHEN THE GOOD DIE YOUNG

CITY AIR, TOXIC TASTE
A GIRL FALLS FROM INNOCENT GRACE
A GIRL DISAPPEARS AND LEAVE NO TRACE
INTO YOUR EYES YOUR EYES
ARE OPEN ARE OPEN WIDE
NO TIES NO SURPRISE IN YOUR EYES
ARE OPEN WIDE

NOW I'M HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY
HAPPY JUST TO SEE YOU WITH A FRIEND NOW AND THEN
HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY
MUSIC CHANGES BUT THE DANCE STEPS DON'T
WHEN THE GOOD DIE YOUNG

by SacrificialNewt

I've always considered this song to be about a girl who is out looking for sex or a relationship in a somewhat misguided promiscuous way, and is murdered.

@SacrificialNewt I read an interview around 1988 where Chrissy Amphlett mentioned the song was 'inspired' by a story she'd heard about the singer Jenny Morris I thought it sounded quite plausible and somewhat interesting at the time
