Ever since i eight or nine I've been standing on the shoreline Always waiting For something lasting Loose your hunger, lose your way Get and you fade away
Oh this town Kills you when you are young Oh this town Kills when you are young
I'm not the boy i used be This has got the youth of me All eyes turn hollow From the work of sorrow
Standing the paving By the office building They've got so much to Never time for you
We are shadows we're shadows Shadows in the alley
You die when you're young You die when you're You die when you're young
