I was walking around, just a face in the crowd try to keep myself out of the rain
Saw a vagabond king wear a story from a crown wondered if I might end up the same
There's a man out on the corner, singing old songs about change everybody got their cross to bare, these days.
Verse 2
She came looking for some shelter with a suitcase full of dreams
To a motel room on the boulevard I guess she's trying to be James Dean
She's seen all the disciples and all the 'wanna be's' no one wants to be themselfs these days
Still there's nothing to hold on to but these days
Chorus
These days the stars ain't out of reach - These days there ain't a ladder from the streets oh no no
These days are fast, nothing lasts in this graceless age - There ain't nobody left but us these days
Verse 3 (like Verse 2)
These days the stars ain't out of reach But these days there ain't a ladder from the streets oh no no
These days are fast, nothing lasts it's a graceless age - Even innocence has caught the midnight train
There ain't nobody left but us these days
Bridge
I know Rome's still burning though the times have changed
This world keeps turning round and round and round and round these days
Chorus
These days the stars ain't out of reach But these days there ain't a ladder from the streets oh no no
There ain't nobody left but us these days
There ain't nobody left but us these days
End
