lyrics

We're in the wrong time, we're in the wrong time. Irresponsibility always leads me to beauty, I came inside her when she was 17.
It's probably the best thing that I'll ever do, steal a car and drive home to you under the cover of stars and a city's silence, a love so wild it's almost violent in all its aching glory. My brother Frank he needs no introduction we'll laugh pre-dawn tears through all this madness and corruption. The allure of some grand tragic end an absurd epic failure, still we'll always be friends. So build a great fire for former lovers all that you gave her given to another, it's so cold tonight but you'll stay warm, not a soaking mess by the light of a summer storm
in all its aching glory. They tell you that your dreams amount to nothing
well then so do our lives. One day soon when we're finally forgotten
our dreams were just as real as the fear in their eyes. This is all there is, kids. Let's live as hard as we can stand. She's a sexy one from the darkest side of rock n roll, we took them in the stall all leaned up against the wall. Let's start walking 'cause we can't find a ride the lights are bright blue we're the last to survive the disappointment of an imagined life some fucked up kids flying through the night in all its aching glory.
