These Days

These Days – Bon Jovi

I was walking around, just a face in the crowd Trying to keep myself out of the rain Saw a vagabond king wear a styrofoam crown Wondered if I might end up the same Theres a man out on the corner Singing old songs about change Everybody got their cross to bare, these days

She came looking for some shelter with a suitcase full of dreams To a motel room on the boulevard Guess shes trying to be james dean Shes seen all the disciples and all the wanna bes No one wants to be themselves these days Still theres nothing to hold on to but these days

These days – the stars seem out of reach These days – there aint a ladder on these streets These days – are fast, love dont last in this graceless age There aint nobody left but us these days

Jimmy shoes busted both his legs, trying to learn to fly From a second story window, he just jumped and closed his eyes His momma said he was crazy – he said momma Ive got to try Dont you know that all my heroes died And I guess Id rather die than fade away

These days – the stars seem out of reach But these days – there aint a ladder on these streets These days are fast, love dont lasts-in this graceless age Even innocence has caught the morning train And there aint nobody left but us these days

I know romes still burning Though the times have changed This world keepd turning round and round and round and round These days

These days – the stars seem out of reach But these days – there aint a ladder on these streets These days are fast, love dont lasts-in this graceless age Even innocence has caught the morning train And there aint nobody left but us these days

These days – the stars seem out of reach These days – there aint a ladder on these streets These days – are fast, nothing lasts There aint no time to waste There aint nobody left to take the blame There aint nobody left but us these days
