Deadline 54 - Teenage Wasteland

At the end of the night
At the end of the night
Counting
Counting the days
Till the end of summer
Narcoleptic eyes
Are watching
Watching through the haze
Of last night's drinking
Sunlight that blinds
Hangover that reminds
Will anything be, be as good as this again

And we're running, and we're running out
Out of time and out of here
And out of things to say
And I don't know, and I don't know how
Still feeling lost at twenty-five
But should it be this way

Teenage wasteland, hold me close
Tell me where the summer goes
Farewell to you, sing it now
Teenage wasteland, hold me close
But the time, it never slows
Farewell to you, sing it now

In the last of the light
Not looking
Not looking ahead
Don't want a new tomorrow
Is this our last July
Never knew how to say goodbye
So I look for a life
That I won't outgrow
Walk the way the sun goes down
Half a life I've known you now
Midnight strikes, don't let me go home
Cause we're the unwanted sons
We are all and we are none
One last eve we sing our wayward songs

And we're running, and we're running out
Out of time and out of here
And out of things to say
And I don't know, and I don't know how
Where to go now

Teenage wasteland, hold me close
Tell me where the summer goes
Farewell to you, sing it now
Teenage wasteland, hold me close
But the time, it never slows
Farewell to you, sing it now

And we're running, and we're running out
Out of time and out of here
And out of things to say
And I don't know, and I don't know how
Still feeling lost at twenty-five
But should it be this way

Teenage wasteland, hold me close
Tell me where the summer goes
Farewell to you, sing it now
Teenage wasteland, hold me close
But the time, it never slows
Farewell to you, sing it now
