Song Lyrics

Well, it was punk-fifteen in the morning
And it was time to stand my ground
And as the gawks and stares bombarded me
You know, I didn`t even hear a sound
No one gave a damn
If I was there or away
If I died and went to hell,
They`d throw a party on my grave
And they`d all say
"this kid is just a fool, he`ll never be cool
They might as well just ship him off
to some other school"
Plain destitute
Just a little too guilty, just a little too soon
That day was just like any other day
No work, and no pay
I knew that paradise was some other place
And I`d get there another day
I will find it before I expire
`Cuz I`ve got the desire
Well, it was punk-fifteen in the evening
And it was time to set the town on fire
I saw my boots and my hair
As reflected in the mirror
Reveal a streetkid named desire
I didn`t give a damn
Because I was just dying to be
And as the Hollywood street scene
Left its mark on me
I changed from a boy into a man
I said "never again!"
I stuck out my chin when I should have ran
Shit in the fan
I was driven so hard
By the sound of my heart
But that day was just like any other day
No work, and no pay
I knew that paradise was some other place
And I`d get there another day
I will find it before I expire
`Cuz I`ve got the desire
When the walls surround
In deeper shades of blue
And there`s no voice of reason inside you
And you search for meaning
On an empty shelf
Then you`re always dreaming
Of somewhere else
Today is just like any other day
No fear, no restraint
I know that paradise is some other place
And I will get there another day
You can come with me,
No conditions or fares
Somehow, somewhere,
I will find it before I expire,
`Cuz I`ve got the desire
