Frank Turner - Live Fast Die Old lyrics

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 pass 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

I used to act like none of this mattered
And I used to say, "I didn't care"
That we 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 got the fire
So me and you, Jay, let's never retire
Let's keep on making mistakes 'til we're done
It won't last so be bold

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

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

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

It won't last so be bold live fast, die old
Choose your path, show soul!
Live fast, die old
