The Empty Street Lights Of A Broken Culture

whatever happened to the teenage dream[marc bolan]
I dont stop believing..Why should you?
youth culture was just a moment in time
hope i die before i get old[pete townsend]

the empty street lights of a broken culture
Going off the radar ..sliding off the rails
jumping off the wagon,chasing vapor trails
captains lost the ship on the golden coast
Another teenage dream ,gotta find the ghost

The ones im close they hurt the most
The ones that heal will lead the blind
if all a blessing and a curse
you gotta leave it all behind you..

Detach yourself from reservations
Attach your dreams to situations
vwhen we were young,lived like midnight vultures
the empty street lights of a broken culture

ahh the displaced dreams of forgotton childhood
When we were young love would conquer all
looking for an answer in the wide wild wood
Wasting time believing we were cool
the things we did,you had to laugh
like fools we hid upon a path
to try and gain another day
turn back the clock would be ok

stepping back in time to your adolescents
frozen in a picture of your very essence
Growing up and finding everybody changes
empty street lights of a broken culture

its just a phaze of disillusioned youth
its just a phaze we didnt know the truth

Skipping though the vinyl of your memorys
remember people,its just temporary
just a displaced member of the population
Theres ones who sit on golden thrones
in disbelief on mobile phones
theres songs of life and disbelief
so carry on and grit your teeth..your not alone.
