lirik lagu dan bern - too late to die young
the day the elvis died
was like a mercy killing
america breathed
a sigh of relief
we knew all about the drugs
and the vegas shows
and there wasn’t much of anything
that looked like grief
and i guess he shoulda done
like james dean did
‘stead of putting on weight
and sinking down, down, down
easier to take
if he had just skidded straight
to souvenir city
and t-shirt town
and sometimes i wish
i was smarter that i am
but i’m on my 3rd city
and i’m on my 4th car
and i’m on my 5th apartment
and so many of my days have sprung
and now it’s too late to crash
too late to burn
too late to die young
if pete rose had exploded
like roberto clemente
he’d be hanging in the hall of fame
without fail
can you name the last good film
marlon brando made
while trying to keep his kid
from going to jail
and the old people
on the street are telling you
“don’t become like me”
but every day
you creep a little bit closer
and i guess we shoulda done
like james dean did
‘stead of putting on weight
and sinking down, down, down
easier to take
if he had just skidded straight
to souvenir city
and t-shirt town
and sometimes i wish
i was smarter that i am
but i’m on my 3rd city
and i’m on my 4th car
and i’m on my 5th apartment
and so many of my days have sprung
and now it’s too late to crash
too late to burn
too late to die young
