Washington - Teenage Fury lyrics

rate me

<b>Teenage Fury</b> by <i>Washington</i><br />I begin by saying

You were right

When you suggested

I was looking for some feeling

That wasn't to be found

Except for in the pages

And poetry of ages

All that teenage fury

I hope you wrote that down

I admit that

At the start it shook me

I confess, it took me

Several months of fury

To burn that city down

But now that I am older

My blood seems to run colder

And I don't get that feeling

When you are around

In its stead, I have steady hands

And in its place, I am making plans

And in the space where I used to spit and scream

There is measurement of temperament

I cultivate my teenage dreams

So again, into the fray

Again, go see you play

Again, just drum and bass

Again, your perfect face

But I don't care about the future

And all I can say to you

Is I don't want to hurt you

And I don't think that you do

Want for me to search you

For your teenage fury

Now that we are grown

So it stands, a monument

Still there

The same thing, self aware

Just shadows in the dark

My favourite work of art

I think it's finished

Shall we hang it in the gallery?

All that teenage fury

Of my very own

Of my very own

Of my very own

Of my very own
