Alex Newport - Live Fast Die Old lyrics

[Produced By Alex Newport] [Verse 1] I bought my soul back from the devil And now I'm keeping it all for myself I'm checking myself out of the program Because I know what's best for my health So why live the dream like you're running out of sleep? I'm not playing to pa** time, I'm playing for keeps We only just started and you're throwing the fight You'd rather burn out than fade away Well, why not both, man? Yeah, I plan to stay So let's do this once and let's do it right [Verse 2] I used to act like none of this mattered And I used to say, "I didn't care" That wouldn't be doing this forever But then the truth is that I was just scared So you put up a front to protect yourself But if we're down on the floor, why get back on the shelf? You can't change your outfit once the night has begun We've still got the fuel and we still have the fire So me and you, Jay, let's never retire Let's keep on making mistakes till we're done It won't last so be bold [Chorus] I'm gonna live fast and I'm gonna die old Gonna end my days in a house with high windows On the quiet shores in the South-West So you sort the tunes and I'll bring the beers And on my seventieth birthday I'll see you right here And together we will watch the sunset [Verse 3] There's no one in my coffin, there's nothing in my grave And I'm tired of being damned, I'd rather be saved We can never sell out because we never bought in And if they build it back up then we'll swing back Through town and burn the whole thing down again [Chorus] [Outro] It won't last so be bold Live fast, die old Choose your path, show soul! Live fast, die old
