[00:49.760]I was walking around,
[00:51.520] just a face in the crowd
[00:53.590]Trying to keep myself out of the rain
[00:57.350]Saw a vagabond king wear a styrofoam crown
[01:01.130]Wondered if I might end up the same
[01:04.720]There's a man out on the corner
[01:08.050]Singing old songs about change
[01:13.170]Everybody got their cross to bare, these days
[01:19.580]She came looking for some shelter
[01:22.810] with a suitcase full of dreams
[01:26.870]To a motel room on the boulevard
[01:30.630]Guess she's trying to be James Dean
[01:34.210]She's seen all the disciples and all the "wanna be's"
[01:41.910]No one wants to be themselves these days
[01:48.780]Still there's nothing to hold on to but these days
[01:56.310]These days - the stars seem out of reach
[02:03.430]These days - there ain't a ladder on these streets
[02:10.850]These days - are fast, love don't last in this graceless age
[02:18.420]There ain't nobody left but us these days
[02:25.290]Jimmy shoes busted both his legs,
[02:29.750]trying to learn to fly
[02:33.180]From a second story window,
[02:36.620]he just jumped and closed his eyes
[02:40.660]His momma said he was crazy -
[02:44.030] he said momma "I've got to try"
[02:48.230]Don't you know that all my heroes died
[02:55.310]And I guess I'd rather die than fade away
[03:02.210]These days - the stars seem out of reach
[03:09.180]But these days - there ain't a ladder on these streets
[03:17.110]These days are fast, love don't lasts-in this graceless age
[03:24.510]Even innocence has caught the morning train
[03:31.640]And there ain't nobody left but us these days
[03:47.170]I know Rome's still burning
[03:51.310]Though the times have changed
[03:54.860]This world keepd turning round and round
[03:58.700]and round and round
[04:00.450]These days
[04:28.900]These days - the stars seem out of reach
[04:34.610]But these days - there ain't a ladder on these streets
[04:43.200]These days are fast, love don't lasts-in this graceless age
[04:50.580]Even innocence has caught the morning train
[04:57.730]These days - the stars seem out of reach
[05:04.730]These days - there ain't a ladder on these streets
[05:11.820]These days - are fast, nothing lasts
[05:15.750]There ain't no time to waste
[05:19.280]There ain't nobody left to take the blame
[05:25.740]There ain't nobody left but us these days
[05:26.190]There ain't nobody left but us these days
[05:40.770]And there ain't nobody left but us these days
