John Mellencamp - Alley Of The Angels lyrics

Another sad sad day The world's KO'd again And I used to always say No one could hit, like my old man Do you really have to be so tough Is it necessary to talk so (son of a b**hin) rough Hey ain't there some place I could fit in Could I find a little action there Hey wait just a minute, I don't really care Any place is bound to be better Than where I'm standin' Yeah I wish that for just one day Hey ya know I wouldn't have to be afraid And ashamed of its work And its disgusting glory Welcome to the alley of the angels Hey they say your eyes can gleam When you can a just tell the truth all night (And you can a chase them dreams all night) Welcome to the alley of the angels (They say) The reckless young hearts Beat to (the flash of) the neon lights Look at those kids, they're such a mess Just can't teach 'em no respect They want the world And they want the best on a silver platter Hey but ain't that, sometime son The kids grew up and the world moved on They're just lookin' for some place in the sun So they would not shatter Welcome to the alley of the angels Hey they say your eyes can gleam When you can a just tell the truth all night (And you can a chase them dreams all night) Welcome to the alley of the angels (They say) The reckless young hearts Beat to (the flash of) the neon lights Do you really have to be so tough Is it necessary to talk so (son of a b**hin) rough Hey ain't there some place I could fit in Welcome to the alley of the angles
