"I was walking around, just a face in the crowd
Trying to keep myself out of the rain
Saw a vegabond 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 a 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 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 last 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 an 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 last 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 last
There ain´t no time to waste
There ain´t nobody left to take the blame
And there ain´t nobody left but us these days"
