lyrics

I get up, I feel down.
So I go for a night on the town.
The next morning when the sun is dawning.
Up the stairs I creep.
Tomorrow I'll be yawning, but I can't afford to sleep.

You live fast, you die young.
But to do the things that I've done.
You could not have picked a better pair.
I don't want to look back to find that there's nothing there.
So I'll just keep on living fast without a care

I do this, I do that.
In a big pink Mexican hat.
I stayed awake for three whole days.
They said I should change my ways.
After all, it's not a crime, I'm living on borrowed time.

You live fast, you die young.
But to do the things that I've done.
You could not have picked a better pair.
I don't want to look back to find that there's nothing there.
So I'll just keep on living fast without a care.

You live fast, you die young.
But to do the things that I've done.
You could not have picked a better pair.
I don't want to look back to find that there's nothing there.
So i'll just keep on living fast without a care.

You live fast, you die young.
But to do the things that I've done.
You could not have picked a better pen.
I don't want to look back depressed in my rocking chair.
So I'll just keep on living fast without a care.
So I'll just keep on living fast without a care.
So I'll just keep on living fast without a care.
