Oh when we were seventeen Oh life was like a film When we were seventeen The sky was always tangerine We ran through streets at night Under starlight We ran through streets at night When we were winning Oh wild was the world And wild we burned We were kings of the streets Not yet beaten by defeat But now it's hard to see Through a fog of memories But I remember When we were winning Now my friends are unemployed Not needed in this world Pushed down by this town And always turned down But in dreams at night They can sometimes recall When we were heroes When we were winning What have we done to our lives? We could've been anything We gave it our love for what? This is the time Oh it's in the air at night There is a wind coming in The days dying Oh it's so beautiful There's something happening somewhere I take the bus into town All I see is laughing And we are winning Soon I grow older But God knows I haven't lived yet Before tonight's a memory Let's go out I am still young Ahhhhh aaaaahh aaaaaah aaaaaaah Aaaaahhh aaaaah aaaaaaaaaah
