Live Fast Die Old

I bought my soul back from the devil
And now I'm keeping it all for myself
I'm checking myself out of the program
Because I know what's best for my health
So why live the dream like you're running out of sleep?
I'm not playing to pass time, I'm playing for keeps
We only just started and you're throwing the fight
You'd rather burn out than fade away?
Why not both man yeah, I plan to stay
Let's do this once now and let's do it right
I used to act like none of this mattered
I used to say that I didn't care
That we wouldn't be doing this forever
But then the truth is that I was just scared
So you put up a front to protect yourself
But if we're down on the floor, why get back on the shelf?
You can't change your outfit once the night has begun
We've still got the fuel and we've still got the fire
So me and you, Jay, yeah let's never retire
Let's keep on making mistakes till we're done
It won't last, so be bold
I'm going to live fast and I'm going to die old
I'm going to end my days in a house with high windows
On the quiet shores in the South-West
So you sort the tunes man and I'll bring the beers
And on my seventieth birthday I'll see you right here
And together we will watch the sun set
There's no one in my coffin, there's nothing in my grave
I'm tired of being damned, yeah I'd rather be saved
We can never sell out because we never bought in
And if they build it back up,
Then we'll swing back through town,
And burn the whole thing down again
I'm going to live fast and I'm going to die old
I'm going to end my days in a house with high windows
On the quiet shores in the South-West
So you sort the tunes man and I'll bring the beers
And on my seventieth birthday I'll see you right here
And together we can watch the sun set
It won't last,
So be bold,
Live fast, die old
Choose a path,
Show soul,
Live fast, die old.
