lyrics

Butterfly you blew it the bullet made you officially artificial
Destiny has met the dove
The passing drained off all their blood
When did we smile?
I can't remember but we know now it must have been quite awhile

Don't die young, baby, don't die young
Everybody saw the guns
'Cause baby you're too young to die
Don't die young, baby, don't die young
Don't suck the sun from the summer sky

Italian torture gave us DaVinci but also Medici
What can it teach me?
Arguments are simplified with all the spears
Piercing my side
What can I say?
Make up my mind make up the kind of things that make it go away

Don't die young, baby, don't die young
The country needs your blood to run
Don't die young, baby, don't die young
Nobody knows what has come
Don't die young, baby, don't die young
'Cause baby you're too young to die
Don't take the sun from the summer sky
Just hang up your heart and cry, cry

Cry
If you believe in love
If you believe that it's never enough
But you were wrong it never has been all along

Don't die now, now, now don't die
Don't die young, baby, don't die young
The country needs your blood to run
Don't die young, now, now, don't die young
Cold and far from your home
Don't die young, baby, don't die young
Baby you're too young to die
Baby you’re too young to die now
Baby you’re too young to die now
Baby you’re too young to die now
Baby you’re too young
To die
Baby you’re too young to die now
Baby you’re too young
