Album: State Of The Ark

One Of Us Is Gonna Die Young

I wanna hold you but you’re out of reach somewhere searching for your inner peace I’m just looking for a little squeeze Face to face and cheek to cheek

It’s in your blood but not in mine What’s in your blood is in my mind something’s broken in the way we smile It is within us all the time

You’re well aquainted with the So- o- o-Ho And all the ”Ello” and ”Ow are ’u?” And we both have to get it on before the summer’s gone

We gotta hurry with no worry to get done today Cause one of us is gonna die young Let’s put our money where our mouth is and get out today Cause one of us is gonna die young Ooh, Ooh, One of us is gonna die young Ooh, Ooh, One of us is gonna die young

And don’t you take this the wrong way I’m not looking for a way to replace what love can give Cause you can’t do that!

I’m only saying that where I come from People find it very fashionable to burn like a flame Never get tame Grown-up and lame Yeah! Yeah!

You’re looking beat but you say: ”no, oh, no, no” ”I’m all messed up and I’m ready to go! We ain’t gonna go it alone no more So let’s get on with the show…”

There’s a lot to be said and to be done today Cause one of us is gonna die young Before they put us in a coffin I’ve got things to say One of us is gonna die young One of us is gonna die young

Ooh, ooh, one of us is gonna die young Ooh, ooh, one of us is gonna die young

There’s a lot to be said and to be done today Cause one of us is gonna die young We’ll go shim-shim shammey And get whimsy and get whammy Cause one of us is gonna die young One of us is gonna die young One of us is gonna die young
