They didn't warn me When I was running wild The dragons breathing fire In the backyard at night We live in circles And it's so hard to breathe Maybe the same old fears What have we here? Don't bring me down With you Now I'm just chasing time With a thousand dreams I'm holding heavy And as we cross the line these fading beats have all been severed Don't tell me our youth is running out It's only just begun If I asked you for good news Would you smile and turn away? It's like a bad dream That is too afraid to wake There are many among us And we're changing all the time Maybe the same old fears What have we here? Don't bring me down With you Now I'm just chasing time With a thousand dreams I'm holding heavy And as we cross the line these fading beats have all been severed Don't tell me our youth is running out It's only just begun These fading beats These fading beats Now I'm just chasing time With a thousand dreams I'm holding heavy And as we cross the line these fading beats have all been severed Don't tell me our youth is running out It's only just begun These fading beats A thousand dreams These fading beats A thousand dreams It's only just begun
