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