Youth

Morning Parade

Sit and wish the world would settle down 
Sit and hope the silence in your heart would drown 
Writing lists of all the things unsaid 
And wasting days by spending them in bed 

With your youth and your time 
And your bruises and bites 
With your airs and your graces 
Oh c'mon kid, you'll let it all go to waste 

So find the cure that's feeding your design 
The antidote that keeps your poison out of mind 
Cos' sticks and stones they never broke your bones 
They lit the burning fire in your soul 

With your youth and your time 
And your bruises and bites 
With your airs and your graces 
Oh c'mon kid, you'll let it all go to waste 

Cut your heart in two 
Half for me and half for you 
Pull your inside out 
Take yourself the long way around 

Cos' you are so untrue 

With your youth and your time 
And your bruises and bites 
With your airs and your graces 
Oh c'mon kid, you'll let it all go to waste
