The Kid

This city imposes a hard toll on you Most of the time it just ain't worth the pain I'm going back to where I started I need to find out where I took the first wrong turn In my heart still lives a kid I got pictures to prove he looks like me In my heart I'm still young and free and man I'm not tired of trying yet You can kill yourself for a lover Or just go outside and find another Put yourself to sleep in September Or wear your jacket on and remember there are Many summers left, many reasons To look straight ahead, there's no poison in me You can run away to your mother Or move those tiny feet and go along with the flow Downtown streets are packed with losers Dying of thirst and waiting for the rain But no rain comes for those who choose to sit And slowly let their days go by on them Somehow they forgot the kid That rode on fast trains to unknown fortunes Oh, that kid was just like me and I I'm not tired of trying yet You can kill yourself for a lover Or just go outside and find another Put yourself to sleep in September Or wear your jacket on and remember there are Many summers left, many reasons To look straight ahead, there's no poison in me You can run away to your mother Or move those tiny feet and go along with the flow You can kill yourself for a lover Or just go outside and find another Put yourself to sleep in September Or wear your jacket on and remember there are Many summers left, many reasons To look straight ahead, there's no poison in me You can run away to your mother Or move those tiny feet and go along with the flow
