Lyrics

Speed on by Don't seem to have the time What about this life? What about this life? Can I call mine? Issues in the paper Somehow I'm not concerned Seems that I've been here before Here before, but I never learn Children Slowly turn Time stay gone We never saw it go Now what do we have? Now what do we have That we may show? Friends you swore you'd never lose Melted from your style Down the tunnels of your youth, of your youth Now you never smile Children Learn to smile
