There Go Young Lions

Remember back when we were fresh, our faces wild and full of innocence

Young lions in the sun

We'd make the world do what we want if only for a moment now those things are gone

The jungle kings are gone

There go young lions, the years have chased them all away

So long you old songs, I can't remember you today

So I think I'll fly away

There go young lions

Some of us are underground but I'm still out here walkin' round

The empty streets of town

Remembering old glory days, brilliant colors bright but then the picture fades

And I'm drunk again today

There go young lions, the years have chased them all away

So long you old songs, I can't remember you today

So I think I'll say goodbye

There go young lions

Det det det det det da, Det det det det det da

I woke up from a dream too soon, young lions flying to the moon

I reach my shaky hands and pray

Thank God I've got some gin to drink to better days

Those jungle kings of yesterday

There go young lions, the years have chased them all away

So long you old songs, I can't remember you today

So I guess I'll fly away

There go young lions

There they go, there they go, there they go, there they go

There go young lions
