|
Well, it was punk fifteen in the mornin' |
|
And it was time to stand my ground |
|
And as the gawks and stares bombarded me |
|
You know, I didn't even hear a sound |
|
No one gave a damn if I was there or away |
|
If I died and went to hell they'd throw a party |
|
On my grave and they'd all say |
|
"This kid is just a fool, he'll never be cool" |
|
They might as well just ship him off |
|
To some other school, plain destitute |
|
Just a little too guilty |
|
Just a little too soon |
|
But that day was just like any other day |
|
No work and no pay |
|
I knew that paradise was some other place |
|
And I'd get there another day |
|
I will find it before I expire |
|
'Cause I've got the desire |
|
Well, it was punk fifteen in the evenin' |
|
And it was time to set the town on fire |
|
I saw my boots and my hair as reflected in the mirror |
|
Reveal a street kid named, Desire |
|
I didn't give a damn because I was just dyin' to be |
|
And as the Hollywood street scene left it's mark on me |
|
I changed from a boy into a man |
|
I said, "Never again" |
|
I stuck out my chin when I should have ran |
|
Shit in the fan |
|
I was driven so hard |
|
By the sound of my heart |
|
But that day was just like any other day |
|
No work and no pay |
|
I knew that paradise was some other place |
|
And I'd get there another day |
|
I will find it before I expire |
|
'Cause I've got the desire |
|
When the walls surround in deeper shades of blue |
|
And there's no voice of reason inside you |
|
And you search for meaning on an empty shelf |
|
Then you're always dreamin' of somewhere else |
|
Today is just like any other day |
|
No fear, no restraint |
|
I know that paradise is some other place |
|
And I will get there another day |
|
You can come with me no conditions or fares |
|
Somehow, somewhere |
|
I will find it before I expire |
|
'Cause I've got the desire |
|
Let's go |
