| [00:06.340] | The day the Elvis died was like a mercy killing |
| [00:11.880] | America breathed a sigh of relief |
| [00:15.920] | We knew all about the drugs and the Vegas shows |
| [00:21.120] | And there wasn't much of anything that looked like grief |
| [00:26.010] | And I guess he shoulda done like James Dean did |
| [00:30.490] | 'Stead of putting on weight and sinking down, down, down |
| [00:35.260] | Easier to take if he had just skidded straight |
| [00:40.000] | To souvenir city and T-shirt town |
| [00:44.730] | And sometimes I wish I was smarter that I am |
| [00:49.170] | But I'm on my 3rd city |
| [00:51.670] | And I'm on my 4th car |
| [00:53.800] | And I'm on my 5th apartment |
| [00:55.890] | And so many of my days have sprung |
| [00:59.600] | And now it's too late to crash |
| [01:03.210] | Too late to burn |
| [01:05.570] | Too late to die young |
| [01:16.520] | If Pete Rose had exploded like Roberto Clemente |
| [01:21.350] | He'd be hanging in the Hall of Fame without fail |
| [01:25.940] | Can you name the last good film Marlon Brando made |
| [01:30.780] | While trying to keep his kid from going to jail |
| [01:35.140] | And the old people in the street are telling you |
| [01:40.070] | "Don't become like me" but |
| [01:43.870] | Every day you creep a little bit closer |
| [01:48.750] | And I guess we shoulda done like James Dean did |
| [01:54.180] | 'Stead of putting on weight and sinking down, down, down |
| [01:58.960] | Easier to take if we'd have had just skidded straight |
| [02:03.580] | To souvenir city and T-shirt town |
| [02:08.310] | And sometimes I wish I was smarter that I am |
| [02:12.540] | But I'm on my 3rd city |
| [02:15.160] | And I'm on my 4th car |
| [02:17.480] | And I'm on my 5th apartment |
| [02:19.820] | And so many of my days have sprung |
| [02:23.090] | And now it's too late to crash |
| [02:26.630] | Too late to burn |
| [02:28.850] | Too late to die |
| [02:32.390] | Now its too late to crash |
| [02:35.800] | Too late to burn |
| [02:38.080] | Too late to die young |
