Live Fast, Die Young

(album: Life Behind Machines - 2012)

Through breakdowns, shakedowns, arguments and fistfights and black eyes
We made our way down unfamiliar highways to get by
Passed street signs, white lines, set out underneath a blackened sky
These ghost towns, fair grounds, cityscapes and bar tabs pass the time

We'd raise a glass every single night
We cut up the road with the same mentality

Live fast, die young we said
It's a motto for the weak-willed
But a slogan shouted in sincerity

Through breakdowns, shakedowns, arguments and fistfights and black eyes
We made our own rules and broke them all just trying to survive

A million miles an hour with summer's virgin hearts on fire
We headed for a crash course in disaster
Now it's a miracle we made it out alive
And I can say I wouldn't trade it for the world

Goodnight, sleep well
So long, farewell
This is only goodbye
