[Verse 1]
Everybody has to get older
Even Jenny
She's just nineteen, young and naive
She wants to find a way to be endless
Fight the science, in defiance, and be timeless
[Pre-Chorus]
Silly little girl who tried to live forever, to live forever
Gave away her soul to buy a bit of pleasure, oh the bitter pleasure
Wicked little boy who tried to steal her treasure, for the bitter pleasure
Now they're cursed forever
Cursed together
[Chorus]
And if you could see
The look in her eyes
The wolf wore the sheep
As a perfect disguise
And she can't believe
That she fell for his lies
He promised forever
But she never knew the price
He promised forever
But she never knew the price
He promised forever
But she never knew the price
[Verse 2]
And as she got a little bit older
Look at Jenny
Now she's ninety
Still looks nineteen
And all she knows to do is surviving
Staying alive and
Now she's crying
'Cause she's not dying
[Pre-Chorus]
Silly little girl who tried to live forever, to live forever
Gave away her soul to buy a bit of pleasure, oh the bitter pleasure
Wicked little boy who tried to steal her treasure, for the bitter pleasure
Now they're cursed forever
Cursed together
[Chorus]
And if you could see
The look in her eyes
The wolf wore the sheep
As a perfect disguise
And she can't believe
That she fell for his lies
He promised forever
But she never knew the price
He promised forever
But she never knew the price
He promised forever
But she never knew the price
[Chorus]
And if you could see
The look in her eyes
The wolf wore the sheep
As a perfect disguise
And she can't believe
That she fell for his lies
He promised forever
But she never knew the price
He promised forever
But she never knew the price
He promised forever
But she never knew the price
