Forever Young

The last slow song, played right before Stariway to heaven, which is right before American Pie. In Carlisle 06 the administration decided that it would only be played at the last dance

Lyrics

Forever Young, by Alphaville

Let's dance in style, lets dance for a while

Heaven can wait we're only watching the skies

Hoping for the best but expecting the worst

Are you going to drop the bomb or not?

Let us die young or let us live forever

We don't have the power but we never say never

Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip

The music's for the sad men

Can you imagine when this race is won

Turn our golden faces into the sun

Praising our leaders we're getting in tune

The music's played by the mad men

Forever young, I want to be forever young

do you really want to live forever, forever. we'll never

Forever young, I want to be forever young

do you really want to live forever? Forever young

Some are like water, some are like the heat

Some are a melody and some are the beat

Sooner or later they all will be gone

why don't they stay young

It's so hard to get old without a cause

I don't want to perish like a fleeing horse

Youth's like diamonds in the sun

and diamonds are forever

So many adventures couldn't happen today

So many songs we forgot to play

So many dreams swinging out of the blue

We let them come true

Forever young, I want to be forever young

do you really want to live forever, forever. we'll never

Forever young, I want to be forever young

do you really want to live forever, forever. we'll never

Forever young, I want to be forever young

do you really want to live forever?

Interestingly, the Carlisle Pop Culture class, session 1, 2006, the first thing that they learned in class was about how the song is about mass suicide. It was made during the cold war, so think about that and look at the lyrics, its not that difficult to figure out.
