Well, Corpses Don't Stay Pretty for Long

lyrics

If I want to create
And I wanna be great
(Is there a right kind of life I need to choose?)
Interesting and productive –
Doesn't it sound seductive?

Live fast and die young
Burn the candle at both ends
Die when you're twenty-seven
Leave a beautiful corpse
(A beautiful corpse)

Well, corpses don't stay pretty for long
Maybe a boring life is the better way to go on

Being interesting takes a lot of time
Do I have a better use for mine?
Do I spend my life making something
Or look fascinating doing nothing?

Live fast and die young
Burn the candle at both ends
Die when you're twenty-seven
Leave a beautiful corpse
(A beautiful corpse)

Well, corpses don't stay pretty for long
Maybe like a boring life is the better way to go on
