Young, stay young Stay strong. Don't "get on with it" Gone, way gone One day it's all gone and you're, you're all done All my friends are running to their own corners The hurters and the haters and the faders and the mourners The world goes to its work and it is not gentle In what it breaks you down into All my friends are looking at life And it's a long, long, long, long, lonely time I said that when you met me, I was just dying I said it to no one, I said it in silence Young, stay young And face dawn all, all taut and quick Stunned, stay stunned Mind blown, and the jaw drops and All these hateful people judging and hand-wringing Oh, lord, why don't you bury me in all they call "sinning" Open up your heart, show me the place where love is missing How long have you been missing love?! I saw all creation pulsing, and dividing up and twinning Now you have to lay me down because my head is spinning Now try, try hard To drop fear and to drop your guard Off, off love Off drugs Just feel it in your blood And I call to all my friends All the cracked cassette tape thrillers All the hand inside the tillers And the hundred-dollar-billers Standing by the stone that was rejected by the builders Bill was drinking at the bar they carried from the burning building Never let it be said that he wasn't willing! Well, no shit I know you miss him, girl Girl, now blast the edges off the earth - you make it wider When I see you're crying Don't you know it's killing me? Climb, climb up Way up to see the sun One, one draw, one life One love because you've only got one Young, stay young Don't get tough Don't "get on with it" On, stay on, it's Heartbreaking Sad, when it's gone I said, when it's gone When it's gone Hey, hey, hey yeah You've only got one Stay young So, stay on
