|
Look at our young faces |
|
They're growing older with each moment |
|
Harder and less beautiful |
|
With every word we say |
|
Stumbling over bridges |
|
And through the backstreets |
|
Waiting for something |
|
But we don't know what |
|
It could be a promise |
|
It could be passion |
|
Eternal life |
|
Or instant death |
|
Wading through rubbish |
|
And dodging choc-a-block cars |
|
Through the door and up the stairs |
|
We'll find some moments of happiness |
|
Between sheets we've known so often |
|
The warmest place in this hostile town |
|
Afterwards, through dust and comfort filled eyes |
|
We can look upwards |
|
And almost stare at the stars |
