Only The Good Die Young


Come out, Virginia. Don@t let me wait.
You Catholic girls start much too late,
But sooner or later, it comes down to fate.
I might as well be the one.

They showed you a statue, told you to pray.
They built you a temple and locked you away,
But they never told you the price that you pay
For things that you might have done.
Only the good die young.

You might@ve heard I run with a dangerous crowd.
We ain@t too pretty. We ain@t too proud.
We might be laughing a bit too loud,
But that never hurt no one.

So come on, Virginia, show me a sign,
Send up a signal. I@ll throw you a line.
The stained-gla*s curtain you@re hiding behind
Never lets in the sun,
And only the good die young.

You got a nice white dress and a party on your confirmation.
You got a brand new soul
And a cross of gold,
But, Virginia, they didn@t give you quite enough information.
You didn@t count on me
When you were counting on your rosary.

They say there@s a heaven for those who will wait.
Some say it@s better but I say it ain@t.
I@d rather laugh with the sinners then cry with the saints.
Sinners are much more fun,
And only the good die young

You say your mother told you all that I could give you
Was a reputation.
She never cared for me,
But did she ever say a prayer for me?

Come out, Virginia. Don@t let me wait.
You Catholic girls start much too late,
But sooner or later, it comes down to fate.
I might as well be the one.
Only the good die young.
And only the good die young.
