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
