This city imposes a hard toll on you
Most of the time it just ain’t worth the pain
I'm going back to where I started
I need to find out where I took the first wrong turn
In my heart still lives a kid
I got pictures to prove he looks like me
In my heart I'm still young and free and man
I'm not tired of trying yet
You can kill yourself for a lover or just go outside and find another
Put yourself to sleep in September or wear your jacket on and remember
There are many summers left, many reasons to look straight ahead
There’s no poison in me
You can run away to your mother or move those tiny feet
And go along with the flow
Downtown streets are packed with losers
Dying of thirst and waiting for the rain
But no rain comes for those who choose to sit
And slowly let their days go by on them
Somehow they forgot the kid
That rode on fast trains to unknown fortunes
Oh, that kid was just like me and I
I'm not tired of trying yet
You can kill yourself for a lover or just go outside and find another
Put yourself to sleep in September or wear your jacket on and remember
There are many summers left, many reasons to look straight ahead
There’s no poison in me
You can run away to your mother or move those tiny feet
And go along with the flow
You can kill yourself for a lover or just go outside and find another
Put yourself to sleep in September or wear your jacket on and remember
There are many summers left, many reasons to look straight ahead
There’s no poison in me
You can run away to your mother or move those tiny feet
And go along with the flow
