Never Die Young

Intro:                                                                                    We were ring-around-the-rosy children they were circles around the sun. Never give up never slow down never grow old never ever die young. Synchronized with the rising moon even with the evening star they were true love written in stone they were never alone they were never that far apart.        And we who couldn’t bear to believe they might make it we got to close our eyes. Cut up our losses into doable doses ration our tears and sighs. Oh you could see them on the street on a Saturday night.   Everyone used to run them down. They’re a little too sweet they’re a little too tight   not enough tough for this town. Couldn’t touch them with a ten-foot pole no it didn’t seem to rattle at all. They were glued together body and soul   that much more with their backs up against the wall.               Oh hold them up hold them up never do let them fall pray to the dust and the rust and the ruin that names us and claims us and shames us all. (Instrumental)                  I guess it had to happen someday soon- wasn’t nothing to hold them down. They would rise from among us like a big balloon take the sky forsake the ground. Oh yes other hearts were broken yeah other dreams ran dry but our golden ones sail on sail on to another land beneath another sky. (Let other hearts be broken let other dreams run dry) but our golden ones sail on sail on to another land beneath another sky           beneath another sky.                     Hold them up hold them up hold them up hold them up hold them up hold them up?
