|
Do things on shoe strings to make the ends meet |
|
Cut costs and corners in order to eat |
|
Low income housing they couldn't afford |
|
Bills and collectors that they just ignored |
|
While the pressures were mounting the tensions would rise |
|
She had been counting on some of the lies |
|
That he had been telling her being the truth |
|
The fighting and yelling the magic of youth |
|
The magic of youth |
|
He hit the pipe she hit the pole |
|
Stereotypes that were out of control |
|
Addictions evictions mistakes being made |
|
Health's going south looks were starting to fade |
|
And he'd give his right arm if his left one could get |
|
A spike in the vein then a loose cigarette |
|
The both lost their dignity him every tooth |
|
Classic and tragic the magic of youth |
|
The magic of youth |
|
The years flew by quickly that's how they fly by |
|
Older and sickly and waiting to die |
|
But they stayed close together to tell you the truth |
|
Yelling and fighting classic and tragic |
|
It's all so exciting the magic of youth |
|
The magic of youth |
|
The magic of youth |
|
The magic of youth |
