lyrics

I don’t feel any pity
But I see a whole lot of pain
Spend my nights in the city
Youthful souls ignite again
Grey towers growing higher
Casting shadows from east to west
Try so hard to see the sunshine
In the place that I know best
Cause you’re a teenage toy in some town
And you’re living in a carefree time
All teenage toys of the future
Tell me all about your paradise
To a rhythm the street lights flicker
On and off with your heartbeat
Distant brawl sounds too familiar
It’s just shit on the street that the garbage man left
