Only the Good Die Young
 Come out, Virginia, don't let it wait
 Diabetic chicks start way too late
 Sooner or later, you know its just fate
 Whether you'll be the one.
 Well they gave you a meter, told you to test
 Brand new pump, baby, only the best  
 But they never told you, about all the rest
 The things that you might have done...
 Only the good die young-thats what I said, only the good die young.
 (only the good die young)
 You might have heard I run with a complication doomed crowd
 Our black leather jackets to double as a shroud
 We might have not with common sense been endowed
 But that never hurt no one.(else, that is)
 So, c'mon, Virginia, give me a kiss
 Double diabetes makes some pretty sweet bliss
 And that sweet naivite, that no one could miss
 Never cracks in the sun.
 Darn it, only the good die young.
(Whoa,whoa,whoa, whoa)
 Only the good die young.
 You got a great a1c and a party on your D(anniversery)
 You got a brand new Medic Alert(plus a cool Running on Insulin t-shirt)
 But Virginia, they didn't give you quite enough information
 You've never had a HI
 After eating the entire pie...
 Oh,oh,oh,oh
 They say there's a cure, for those who are good
 Stay healthy till then, do all that you should
 If I could do that, you know that I would
 But better D's then me have thought that they could...
 You know that only the good die young, only the good die young.
 You say that all I ever gave you was a reputation
 Your endo doesn't care for me
 Cuz I'm playing havoc with your fine bg
 Oh,oh,oh, oh.
 
 So, come out, Virginia, don't lemme wait
 This is one party that can't be late
 Two diabetics, make a very fine date
 And maybe, just maybe we won't die young.
 Sometimes I definatly feel like a wild child- I have made unwise decisions just because I didn't want to fit into the "good diabetic" mold. I've eaten those metophysical pies, and had more then my share of real life HI's to boot.

I love Billy Joel stuff. This is great! Very creative. Unfortunately, it's true, too, huh?
