These Days
[00:48.83] I was walking around
[00:50.86] Just a face in the crowd
[00:52.64] Tryna keep myself out of the rain
[00:56.18] Saw a vagabond king
[00:58.48] Wear a Styrofoam crown
[01:00.51] Wondered if I might end up the same
[01:03.81] There's a man out on the corner
[01:08.16] Singing old songs about change
[01:12.21] Everybody's got their cross to bear these days
[01:18.83] She came looking for some shelter
[01:22.11] With a suitcase full of dreams
[01:26.43] To a motel room on the boulevard
[01:29.76] I guess she's tryna be James Dean
[01:33.58] She's seen all the disciples and all the wanna-bes
[01:41.69] No one wants to be themselves these days
[01:48.51] Still there's nothing to hold on to but these days
[01:55.06] These days the stars hang out of reach
[02:03.16] These days there ain't a ladder on the streets
[02:08.74] Oh, no, no
[02:10.00] These days are fast
[02:12.27] Nothing lasts
[02:14.30] In this graceless age
[02:18.16] There ain't nobody left but us these days
[02:25.24] Jimmy Shoes busted both his legs
[02:29.06] Tryna learn to fly
[02:32.61] From a second story window
[02:35.96] He just jumped and closed his eyes
[02:40.01] His momma said he was crazy
[02:43.29] He said, "Momma, I've gotta try
[02:47.35] Don't you know that all my heroes died?
[02:54.26] And I guess I'd rather die than fade away."
[03:00.36] These days the stars hang out of reach
[03:09.09] But these days there ain't a ladder on the streets
[03:14.96] Oh, no, no
[03:15.98] These days are fast
[03:18.79] Nothing lasts
[03:20.55] It's a graceless age
[03:24.13] Even innocence has caught the midnight train
[03:31.24] And there ain't nobody left but us these days
[03:47.25] I know Rome's still burning
[03:50.55] Though the times have changed
[03:54.10] This world keeps turning
[03:56.67] Round and round and round and round these days
[04:28.47] These days the stars hang out of reach
[04:35.00] But these days there ain't a ladder on the streets
[04:40.33] Oh, no, no
[04:42.88] These days are fast
[04:44.66] Love don't last
[04:46.45] It's a graceless age
[04:50.27] Even innocence has caught the midnight train
[04:56.86] These days the stars hang out of reach
[05:04.16] These days there ain't a ladder on the streets
[05:09.75] Oh, no, no
[05:10.78] These days are fast
[05:13.36] Nothing lasts
[05:15.11] There ain't no time to waste
[05:19.15] There ain't nobody left to take the blame
[05:24.23] Oh, no, no
[05:25.51] There ain't nobody left but us these days
[05:39.97] Ain't nobody left but us these days
