I bought my soul back from the devil,
|
and now I'm keeping it all to 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?
|
Well why not both, I plan to stay.
|
So let's do this once 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 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 now the night has begun.
|
But we've still got the fuel,
|
we still have the fire, so me and you, Jay,
|
let's never retire, let's keep on making mistakes till we're done.
|
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 and I'll bring the beers,
|
and on my seventieth birthday I'll see you right here,
|
and together we'll watch the sun set.
|
There's no one in my coffin, there's nothing in my grave,
|
I'm tired of being damned, I'd rather be saved,
|
and 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.
|
It won't last so be bold, choose your path, show soul, live fast and die old.
|
