lyrics

There’s something to be said about
driving through these graveyard hours
second star to the right
and straight on through till morning
We’re trying to find
everlasting youth on basement stages
wasted lives
the vagrants of generations

In concrete wombs beneath the streets
kids clap hands and stomp their feet
(to) songs of revolution with no solution
and that’s alright by me because
I can’t recall a single word
the songs played or things I heard
and on and on the story goes
(from) scene to shining scene

I missed the path of least resistance
for the long hard road
Got lost in the wilderness
but found a reason for existence
memories worth their weight in gold

Some people say our lives are already written
so we can only live the page
I like to think
there’s
reason in everything
no matter how naïve
that makes me

We’re strumming similar chords
but striking different nerves
just like Johnny Thunders sang of memories and failure
wrap your loving arms around tonight
I’ll find a reason to love you
you find a reason to love me
and with these hands
at our command
don’t fight it
feel it
