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
