A Streetkid Named Desire

歌詞

Well, it was punk:15 in the morning And it was time to stand my ground And as the gawks and the 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:15 in the evening 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, I was just dying to be And as the Hollywood street scene left its 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 dreaming of somewhere else Today is just like any other day, no fear, no restraint I know that paradise is some other place and I'll 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
