main lyrics page - Blondie album lyrics - Eat To The Beat lyrics

Die Young Stay Pretty Die young stay pretty deteriorate in your own time tell 'em you're dead and wither away are ya living alone or with your family a dried up twig on your family tree are ya waiting for the reaper to arrive or just to die by the hand of love love for youth love for youth so die young and stay pretty leave only the best behind alipping sensibilities tragedy in your own dream oh ya sit all alone in your rocking chair transistor pressed against an ear were ya waiting at the bus stop all your life or just to die by the hand of love love for youth love for youth so live fast 'cause it won't last dearly near senility was it good or maybe you won't tell

comments quoted from the book "Deborah Harry: Platinum Blonde - A Portrait By Cathay Che" - 1999 question: "Die Young Stay Pretty?" answer: I think it's pretty obvious that was directed at all of the famous people we all loved who were so close to the edge, they went over the edge. My personal philosophy has always been to somehow endure. I certainly have pushed the limit as far as taking chances with my physical self, but at the same time, I've always envisioned some kind of longevity and a career that would last longer than five years.
