Only The Good Die Young Lyrics

Cover art for Only The Good Die Young lyrics by Billy Joel

Yeah it is more about sex, in my opinion. It's about anyone who follows blindly a teaching (I think specificially Joel uses religious doctrine) without looking beyond it ("the stained glass curtain you're hiding behind / never lets in the sun").

It does have sexual overtones of course, but that is the beauty of the song- its many layers and ambiguous meanings :)
