Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm walking young and strong
But just a little too thin
I may be happy
But I haven't a clue
To this life
In my mind
[Verse 2]
Stay with me, we could learn to fight
Like every good boy should
Cling to me, we are blacked out
In visions of China tonight
[Verse 3]
I'm burning heroes again
I never thought of before
I remember the fashion
But don't have a clue
To your life
In my mind
[Verse 4]
Stay with me, we could learn to fight
Like every good boy should
Cling to me, we are blacked out
In visions of China tonight
[Verse 5]
We walk backwards, say nothing
Our visions of China
We're young and strong in this party
We're building our visions of China
[Verse 6]
We walk backwards, say nothing
Our visions of China
We're young and strong in this party
We're living our visions of China
[Verse 7]
We walk backwards, say nothing
Our visions of China
We're young and strong in this party
We're building our visions of China
