Come out Virginia, don't let me me wait
|
You Catholic girls start much too late
|
But sooner or later it comes down to fate
|
I might as well be the one
|
They showed you a statue and told you to pray
|
They built you a temple and locked you away
|
But they never told you the price that you pay
|
For things that you might have done.....
|
Only the good die young
|
|
You might have heard I run with a dangerous crowd
|
We ain't too pretty we ain't too proud
|
We might be laughing a bit too loud
|
But that never hurt no one
|
Come on Virginia show me a sign
|
Send up a signal I'll throw you the line
|
The stained-glass curtain you're hiding behind
|
Never lets in the sun
|
And only the good die young
|
|
You got a nice white dress and a party on your confirmation
|
You got a brand new soul
|
And a cross of gold
|
But Virginia they didn't give you quite enough information
|
You didn't count on me
|
When you were counting on your rosary
|
|
They say there's a heaven for those who will wait
|
Some say it's better but I say it ain't
|
I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints
|
Sinners are much more fun...
|
And only the good die young
|
|
You say your mother told you all that I could give you was a
|
reputation
|
She never cared for me
|
But did she ever say a prayer for me?
