Come out Virginia don't let me wait |
|
Catholic girls start much too late |
|
But sooner or later it comes down to fate |
|
I might as well be the one |
|
Well they showed you a statue and told you to pray |
|
They built you a temple and locked you away |
|
But they never told you the price you would pay |
|
For things that you might have done |
|
Only the good die young (4 times) |
|
You might have heard I run with a dangerous crowd |
|
We ain't too pretty we ain't too proud |
|
We might be laughing a bit too loud |
|
But that would never hurt no one |
|
Come on Virginia show me a sign |
|
Send up a signal I'll throw you the line |
|
The stained-glass curtain you're hiding behind |
|
Never lets in the sun |
|
And only the good die young |
|
Only the good die young (3 times) |
|
You got a nice white dress and a party on your confirmation |
|
You got a brand new soul and a cross of gold |
|
But Virginia they didn't give you quite enough information |
|
You never count on me, when you considered trying sodomy |
|
They say there's a heaven for those who'll wait |
|
Some say it's better but I say it ain't |
|
I'd rather laugh with the punks than cry with the saints |
|
Smokers have much more fun |
|
And only the good die young |
|
Only the good die young (3 times) |
|
Yeay! |
|
You say your mother told you all that I could give you was some mild abrasions |
|
She never cared for me, but did she ever say a prayer for me |
|
Come out, come out, Virginia don't let me wait |
|
Catholic girls start much too late |
|
Sooner or later it comes down to fate |
|
I might as well be the one |
|
Only the good die young (4 times) |
|
Only the good, yeah |
|
Only the good die young (3 times) |
|
Yeay! Yeay! Yeay! Yeay! Huh! |
