Come out Virginia, don't let me me wait
You Catholic girls
start much too late
But sooner or later it comes down to fate
I might as
well be the one
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 that you
pay
For things that you might have done...
Only the good die
young
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
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
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 didn't
count on me
When you were counting on your rosary
They say there's a
heaven for those who will wait
Some say it's better but I say it ain't
I'd
rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints
Sinners are much more
fun...
And only the good die young
You say your mother told you all
that I could give you was a reputation
She never cared for me
But did she
ever say a prayer for me?
