First man on the scene, frozen in a dream.
I see cold and timeless magic. growing old could be more tragic.
We live fast we gonna do some damage.

Pennies, nickels, dimes. buying us more time.

21, loaded gun, shoot to kill, aim to miss.
Petrified of my life, without your love, without your kiss.

What to do with the cake, candles, and a loaded gun.

Tell me why you died young, tell me why you died young, tell me why you died young marilyn.
