I was walking around, just a face in the crowd
|
Trying to keep myself out of the rain
|
Saw a vagabond king wear a styrofoam crown
|
Wondered if I might end up the same
|
There's a man out on the corner
|
Singing old songs about change
|
Everybody got their cross to bare, these days
|
|
She came looking for some shelter with a suitcase full of dreams
|
To a motel room on the boulevard
|
Guess she's trying to be James Dean
|
She's seen all the disciples and all the "wanna be's"
|
No one wants to be themselves these days
|
Still there's nothing to hold on to but these days
|
|
These days - the stars seem out of reach
|
These days - there ain't a ladder on these streets
|
These days - are fast, love don't last in this graceless age
|
There ain't nobody left but us these days
|
|
Jimmy shoes busted both his legs, trying to learn to fly
|
From a second story window, he just jumped and closed his eyes
|
His momma said he was crazy - he said momma "I've got to try"
|
Don't you know that all my heroes died
|
And I guess I'd rather die than fade away
|
|
These days - the stars seem out of reach
|
But these days - there ain't a ladder on these streets
|
These days are fast, love don't lasts-in this graceless age
|
Even innocence has caught the morning train
|
And there ain't nobody left but us these days
|
|
I know Rome's still burning
|
Though the times have changed
|
This world keepd turning round and round and round and round
|
These days
|
|
These days - the stars seem out of reach
|
But these days - there ain't a ladder on these streets
|
These days are fast, love don't lasts-in this graceless age
|
Even innocence has caught the morning train
|
And there ain't nobody left but us these days
|
|
These days - the stars seem out of reach
|
These days - there ain't a ladder on these streets
|
These days - are fast, nothing lasts
|
There ain't no time to waste
|
There ain't nobody left to take the blame
|
There ain't nobody left but us these days
|
