I bought my soul back from the devil, and now Im keeping it all to myself.
Im checking myself out of the program, because I know whats best for my health.
So why live the dream like youre running out of sleep?
Im not playing to pass time, Im playing for keeps.
( x2)
We only just started and youre throwing the fight.
Youd rather burn out than fade away?
Well why not both, I plan to stay.
( x2)
So lets do this once and lets do it right.
I used to act like none of this mattered, I used to say that I didnt care,
that we wouldnt be doing this forever, but the truth is that I was just scared.
So you put up a front to protect yourself,
but if were down on the floor, why get back on the shelf?
You cant change your outfit now the night has begun.
But weve still got the fuel, we still have the fire, so me and you, Jay,
lets never retire, lets keep on making mistakes till were done.
It wont last, so be bold
Im going to live fast and Im going to die old,
Im 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 Ill bring the beers,
on my seventieth birthday Ill see you right here, and together well watch the sun set.
Bada bada ba ,Bada bada ba ,Bada bada ba ,Bada bada ba x2
Theres no one in my coffin, theres nothing in my grave,
Im tired of being damned, Id rather be saved,
and we can never sell out because we never bought in,
and if they build it back up,
then well swing through town and burn the whole thing down again.
Im going to live fast and Im going to die old,
Im 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 Ill bring the beers,
on my seventieth birthday Ill see you right here, and together well watch the sun set.
It wont last, so be bold. Live fast die old. Choose your path. Your Soul.
