Dying Young Songtext
von Gasoline Lollipops

When I went to sleep I was eight years old
The snow was on the peaks
It was late July and the ice was coming down the creeks
The starlight shined through the pines and cast shadows on my bed
I woke up twenty years later with a shadow on my soul instead

Now the stars fall just like cannonballs
And the rain comes warm and calm, just like napalm
Burning up the memories of everything we′ve done
They say she's old but I know that she′s dying young


Sleep well my Son. Dream you're one with the sunlight
And make bright the whole galaxy
See once for me, what's beyond that cosmic sea?
Does it shine eternally? Or is this all we got?
And do we have a shot at breaking free?

Before the stars fall just like cannonballs
And the rain comes warm and calm, just like napalm
Burning up the memories of everything we′ve done
They say she′s old but I know that she's dying young
Burning up the memories of everything we′ve done
They say she's old but I know that she′s dying young
