Bon Jovi - These Days lyrics
[Bon Jovi - These Days lyrics]
I was walking around
Just a face in the crowd
Trying to keep myself out of the rain
Saw a vagabond king wear a styrofoam crown
Wondered if I might end up the same
There's a man out on the corner
Singing old songs about change
Everybody got their cross to bare these days
She came looking for some shelter
With a suitcase full of dreams
To a motel room on the boulevard
I guess she's trying to be James Dean
She's seen all the disciples
And all the wannabes
No one wants to be themselves these days
Still there's nothing to hold on
To but these days
These days, the stars seem out of reach
These days
There ain't a ladder on the streets
These days are fast
Nothing lasts in this graceless age
There ain't nobody left but us these days
Jimmy Shoes, he busted both his legs
Trying to learn to fly
From a second story window
He just jumped and closed his eyes
His momma said he was crazy
He said, "Momma, i've got to try
Don't you know that all my heroes died?
And I guess I'd rather
Die than f-f-fade away", yeah
These days, the stars seem out of reach, yeah
These days, there ain't a
Ladder on the streets, oh no no
These days are fast, nothing lasts
It's a graceless age
Even innocence has caught the midnight train
There ain't nobody left but us these days
(Whoa, oh oh oh oh) I
Know Rome's still burning
(Whoa, oh oh oh oh) Though
The times have changed
(Whoa, oh oh oh oh) This
World keeps turning round
And round and round and round these days
These days, the stars seem out of reach, yeah
These days, there ain't a
Ladder on the streets, oh no no
These days are fast, love don't last
It's a graceless age
Even innocence has caught the midnight train
These days, the stars seem out of reach, yeah
These days, there ain't a
Ladder on the streets, oh no no
These days are fast, nothing lasts
There ain't no time to waste
There ain't nobody left to take the blame
Oh no no no
Ain't nobody left but us these days
Ain't nobody left but us these days
Just a face in the crowd
Trying to keep myself out of the rain
Saw a vagabond king wear a styrofoam crown
Wondered if I might end up the same
There's a man out on the corner
Singing old songs about change
Everybody got their cross to bare these days
She came looking for some shelter
With a suitcase full of dreams
To a motel room on the boulevard
I guess she's trying to be James Dean
She's seen all the disciples
And all the wannabes
No one wants to be themselves these days
Still there's nothing to hold on
To but these days
These days, the stars seem out of reach
These days
There ain't a ladder on the streets
These days are fast
Nothing lasts in this graceless age
There ain't nobody left but us these days
Jimmy Shoes, he busted both his legs
