Intro

 I dreamed I saw the ocean and you upon the shore

 I knew you were waiting to feel something more

 I said, "All of this is ours my love. Come and swim into my stars my love."

 And we walked into the joint like we owned the place

 And we learned to hold our heads up high in disgrace

 Laughing from the power lines, racing through the landmines

 Never a moment of doubt, dancing through the slaughterhouse

 Stumbling through pleasures much too fast

 White knuckle that is golden and strychnine past

 Youth is just a treasure...

 ...that won't last

 We recklessly ran, so much stronger than the places we'd gone or the waves we rode upon

 And we shined on despite all the laws, And we poured our guts into the cause

 And we learned all that burns cannot last

 Stumbling through our borders much too fast

 White knuckle that golden and strychnine past

 Youth is just a torture...

 ...that won't last
