Ever since I was eight or nine
I've been standing on the shoreline
Always waiting
For something lasting
Loose your hunger, you loose your way
Get confused and you fade awayOh this town
Kills you when you are young
Oh this town
Kills you when you are youngI'm not the boy I used to be
This town has got the youth of me
All eyes turn hollow
From the work of sorrowStanding on the paving
By the office building
They've got so much to do
Never time for youWe are shadows
Oh we're shadows
Shadows in the alleyYou die when you're young
You die when you're young
You die when you're young
