Intro

Here comes the lipgloss,

the brand name of their age

Roomates just paint love,

eye shadow turns to pink

Boys have a crush on the

teenage da - da girls

tonight with shaking hands

their red ties

Chorus

 Young people dance

undressed

with tears hidden in their eyes

 and with fear they pretend to embrace

 drunken harms at night

‘You can take me in your hands’ they say

Kissin’ with lines of escape in mouth

Comin’ home late at late night to cry in front of their mirrors

-> -> like before -> -> -> at end of verse.

Bitter sweet girls have a secret wish

Lonely boys have not the heart to phone

Love inside won’t let them back to sleep

They have lost control

Take a second to say goodbye and then

please don’t bite your lips when you walk alone

Youth, time is coming

Because of you tonight

I feel life, I choose pain

I give up nostalgia

Now help me pray for you

Don’t cry for yesterday

Stay wild another time

Carry on this mortal coil
