Lyrics:
of kids alone
And I know how they feel looking at me cause
I remember the nights I spent crying cause
I was never accepted when I was young
But the woman
let the days roll by you let the bad nights win
But you're waking up now, got your eyes wide open and the light is pouring in
See, we don't get to do
since gone by
I was thinking about the ocean and the Rocky Mountains
Sunsets and rainbows and the color of her eyes
She said baby don't quit
She said baby
twenty years would fly by
And we'd still be together on this big wheel of life
Taking our chances n chasing our dreams
When those young lovers asked
Who are these children out here at dawn
Running to the city
Is that you - the little black swan
When you were young and pretty
You haunt
must fight day and night against the unjust.
Obscenity. Amphetamines.
Everybody has positions on
Bad conditions created by beat poets and jazz
Come on mamma, put your good dress on
The night is young and we're goin' downtown
Where faces come and faces go
It ain't very far you know
This is the story of a young girl
Who was the hippest chick in town.
They call her Big Noise from Winettka.
Miss Birdie's sure to get around.
Big
Back when we were young
And having too much fun
For our own good
We had each other's backs
And made a solemn pact
Of brotherhood
It's heavy on my
When niggaz saw us behind the ropes they were shook
We feint to lace the mic and young always allowed us
Used to go from block to block to battle
never gone
But just as a calm sets in
A police line barracades
A place next door I asked
Around the lot a store
Clerk told me two young
Kids were
at women as they walk by
Eyes red, I got the munchies, I'm zonin' cause I'm so high
How many Caddys for sho' sittin' on them fattys and Vogues
Fussin' with
You'll end up in the ground
Cut in the prime of youth, slain 'cause you tell the truth
It's a mess to confess, to be young and free
Unless you hold
lilt-a-doodle, lilt-a-doodle, lilt-a-doodle-dee,-
And she hi-di-lan-di-dee, and she hi-di-lan-di-dee and she lan- day
Her boots were black and her stockings
dead loved ones - the night is young so don't be scared
I've known you all my life tonight and I won't let that go
I've known you all my life tonight
As I roved out on a May morning
On a May morning right early
I met my love upon the way
Oh Lord but she was early.
Her boots were black, her
Goodbye innocence, you didn't stay too long
You were her haven, her solace while she was young
But Fate decreed that fear would form her personality
Sirens going off in the distance
Someone's house is burning down
Somewhere, a young man is dying
Somewhere, a lost child is found
Somedays it feels like
We were young once, full of violence.
Now you're silenced. and I'm breathing the cold.
You forgot me, almost lost me.
Every night was hell like
gone
But just as a calm sets in
Police line barricades a place next door
I asked around the lot
A store clerk told me two young kids were shot
Mother was
I went to your house a little monkey in the gloom
You were making bacon the punch line came too soon
Made me a beverage thought I had it made
Overwhelmed by how many cars were parked at bars.
Could this liquor make me sicker than we already are?
Is this my calling? Am I falling, is this what I
still get in heat.
You can't wag your ears or flap your tail,
But I still see you wandering down by the wishing well.
When the ground was young
forgiving
Then I was young and unafraid
And dreams were made
and used and wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung no wine untasted
But
