Young Galaxy - Youth Is Wasted On The Young lyrics

rate me

Smoke-ring afternoon

The sun in a sling

Spinning

All come to meet her

On the record player

Soundtracked suffering

These were the days

Of catapulting

After dark

Armored in angst

In moonlit parks

In a drunken blur

We tattooed the words

Of venus in furs

There’s a line you wrote

A long time ago

It goes something like this

I wouldn’t mind dying at all

If it weren’t for the songs I’d miss

Young and beautiful, in poverty

Filming, blossoms falling

From the cherry trees

On pure ecstasy

And as we sulked

Like Russian spies

Out after dark

Deliberating

Court and spark

In a hail of broken glass

You told me

Nothing’s built to last

There’s a line you wrote

A long time ago

It goes something like this

I wouldn’t mind dying at all

If it weren’t for the songs I’d miss, oh

Youth is wasted on the young, ohh

Ohh oohh oh oh oh oh
