lyrics

Hands in the air, we're swayin' in the dark
We run the boulevard baby this is how we roll
Fleurs de plastique and amphetamines
Filthy living rooms are our mensions baby
Pine tress on sprees and abandoned places
Roamin' around in my Tercell 99
Don't let yourself drown in their stream
Show the world you never disapear in the crowd

I might be nothing for you but we took this path together
We might be losers for them 'cause we were young, rad and lost

We were so on another level, higher than the bloody red sun of LA
You're still so on another lever. Now you're back to your old emptiness

They bring us down but you're tear me appart
Just like all the twisted minds I met on the road
The moon was our sun, we were drunk on the swings
Now it's cold outside, you're reall gone with the wind

I may be nothing for you but we took this path together
I'm a loser. Yes I'm broke, rad and free

We were so on another level, higher than the bloody red sun of LA
You're still so on another lever. Now you're back to your old emptiness

You're a misft, out of this world
We were the garbage youth baby
We're the warriors, fighting oppulence
Damn we're the garbage youth baby

They never seemed to see my fantasy
Now you don't wanna live my fantasy no more

We were so on another level, higher than the bloody red sun of LA
You're still so on another lever. Now you're back to your old emptiness

You're a misft, out of this world
We were the garbage youth baby
We're the warriors, fighting oppulence
Damn we're the garbage youth baby
