1
well, it was punk-fifteen in the morning
2
and it was time
3
to stand my ground
4
and as the gawks and stares bombarded me
5
you know, I didn't even
6
hear a sound
7
no one gave a damn
8
if I was there or away
9
if I died and went to hell,
10
they'd throw a party on my grave
11
and they'd all say,
12
"this kid is just a fool, he'll never be cool,
13
they might as well just ship him off
14
to some other school"
15
plain destitute
16
just a little too guilty, just a little too soon
17
that day was just like any other day
18
no work, and no pay
19
I knew that paradise was some other place
20
and I'd get there another day
21
I will find it before I expire
22
cuz I've got the desire
23
well, it was punk-fifteen in the evening
24
and it was time to set the town on fire
25
I saw my boots and my hair,
26
as reflected in the mirror,
27
reveal a streetkid named desire
28
I didn't give a damn
29
because I was just dying to be
30
and as the hollywood street scene
31
left its mark on me
32
I changed from a boy into a man
33
I said "never again!"
34
I stuck out my chin when I should have ran
35
shit in the fan
36
I was driven so hard
37
by the sound of my heart
38
when the walls surround
39
in deeper shades of blue
40
and there's no voice of reason inside you
41
and you search for meaning
42
on an empty shelf
43
then you're always dreaming
44
of somewhere else
45
today is just like any other day
46
no fear, no restraint
47
I know that paradise is some other place
48
and I will get there another day
49
you can come with me,
50
no conditions or fares
51
somehow, somewhere,
52
I will find it before I expire,
53
cuz I've got the desire
