Lyrics

Last night I had the strangest dream,
I was sittin by the river
playing dominos with every celebrity I'e known
When a giant golden eagle picked me up then took me down
to where the sky becomes the ocean & the black eyed roses grow.

AND ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG
SEEMS LIKE ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG
AND ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG
ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG

There was something that I know I had to mention to St. Peter
but ELVIS kept distracting me by singing out a tune,
"THE BOYS" kept playing tho' the bass & drums had not arrived and so GEORGE BEST & BUDDY HOLLY left the room.
JIMMY DEAN was playing tambourine when HENDRIX wandered over,
asked him for a light and then set fire to his guitar,
And MARILYN was singing "Happy Birthday" to the heroes
but J.F.K. didn't let her get too far

AND ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG
SEEMS LIKE ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG
AND ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG
ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG

BILLY FURY was eventually finishing his journey,
EVA CASSIDY & KAREN taught the angels how to sing,
and FREDDIE and the "QUEEN of HEARTS" were dancing in the corner,
she was staring into space just like some candle in the wind.

AND ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG
SEEMS LIKE ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG
AND ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG
ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG

MARC sat with a fox beneath a tree beside the river,
BRYAN used guitar to paddle KIRSTY back to shore,
I rememberedwhat it was I had to mention to St. Peter
so MAURICE kindly showed me to the door

AND ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG
SEEMS LIKE ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG
AND ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG
ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG
AND ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG
SEEMS LIKE ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG
AND ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG
ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG
AND ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG
SEEMS LIKE ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG
AND ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG
ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG
