Hold On To You

Take the forward path

Have a big slice of the city

Get the upper hand

While you're still pretty

But you know what we're like

No, they will never respect you

The way you want them to respect you

I think it's very well understood

But I'm

I'm gonna hold on to you

I'm gonna hold on to you

You

Your cracked up shell

A dead opera house

You give yourself to them now

In a game of cat and mouse

From the storyboard

To the bedroom scene

Through eleven World Wars

Other people you have been

Well, I'm

Gonna hold on to you

I'm gonna hold on to you

You

Oh, I'm

Gonna hold on to you

I'm gonna hold on to you

You

I can come to terms

With slowly going mad

Things we used to fear in the dark

And what ever lies beyond that

But I've come to resemble

My own shadow

As it falls into the sidewalk

I'm no longer anyone I know

No one here reminds me of you

Yet I see no-one else

On the crowded sidewalk

Well, I'm

I'm gonna hold on to you

I'm gonna hold on to you

You

Oh, I'm

I'm gonna hold on to you

I'm gonna hold on to you

Hold on to you

Hold on to you

I'm gonna hold on to you
