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 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 Stumbling through pleasures much too fast White knuckle that golden and strychnine past Youth is one of many tortures that won't last
