| [00:19.54] | Young stay young |
| [00:23.11] | Stay strong and get on with it; |
| [00:28.36] | Gone way gone one day it’s all gone |
| [00:34.12] | And you’re all done |
| [00:36.74] | |
| [00:40.50] | All my friends are running to their own corners |
| [00:44.13] | The hurters and the haters |
| [00:46.19] | And the faders and the mourners |
| [00:48.71] | The world goes to its work and it is not gentle |
| [00:53.44] | In what it breaks you down into |
| [00:57.21] | All my friends are looking in life |
| [01:00.94] | And it’s a long long long long lonely time |
| [01:05.86] | I said that when you met me I was just dying |
| [01:10.19] | I said it to no one I said it in silence |
| [01:14.94] | |
| [01:15.56] | Young stay young Face dawn all talk and quick |
| [01:24.05] | Stunned stay stunned mind blown |
| [01:29.86] | And your jaw drops |
| [01:31.66] | And all these hateful people judging and hand-wringing |
| [01:35.89] | Oh lord why don’t you bury me in all they call sinning |
| [01:40.08] | Open up your heart |
| [01:41.71] | Show me the place where love is missing |
| [01:44.25] | How long have you been missing love |
| [01:48.09] | I see all creation pulsing and divided up between it |
| [01:52.84] | Now you have to lay me down because my head is spinning |
| [01:57.55] | |
| [01:58.42] | Try try hard to drop fear and to drop your guard |
| [02:07.09] | Off off of love off drugs Just feel it in your blood |
| [02:15.52] | |
| [02:31.46] | And I call to all my friends: |
| [02:33.02] | All the cracked-cassette-tape-thrillers |
| [02:33.52] | |
| [02:35.75] | All the hand-inside-the-tillers |
| [02:36.18] | |
| [02:37.89] | And the hundred-dollar-billers |
| [02:40.20] | Standing by the stone that was rejected by the builders |
| [02:44.55] | There was drinking at the bar |
| [02:46.17] | They carried from the burning building |
| [02:48.76] | Never let it be said daddy wasn’t willing |
| [02:55.00] | Well I know you miss him |
| [02:56.87] | Girl I’ve lost the edges off the earth |
| [02:59.50] | You make it wider When I see your crying |
| [03:03.36] | Don’t you know it’s killing me |
| [03:07.10] | Now climb climb up |
| [03:10.68] | Way up to see the sun One |
| [03:17.11] | One draw One life |
| [03:21.35] | One love You’ve only got one |
| [03:23.96] | And young stay young girl Get tough |
| [03:30.04] | Get on with it Young stay young |
| [03:36.40] | It’s a heartbreak; step with it; stay young |
| [00:19.54] | Young stay young |
| [00:23.11] | Stay strong and get on with it |
| [00:28.36] | Gone way gone one day it' s all gone |
