Song Lyrics

Police cars round in circles
The silence gathering
You never know what's next down here
Close your eyes and shut your mouth

I know I won't last forever
If there's nothing left in your heart for me
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Too young to die and too old
To believe in
Promises, yeah baby

The ambulance is singing
To streetcars in the rain
Like barracuda waiting
For the guns down in the hood, yeah

But this ain't no West Side Story
And the curtain's comin' down on me
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Too young to die and too old
To believe in
Promises
It's all sound and all fury
It's all reach and no touch
It's all life's cold bravado
All grown up and old so fast, yeah, yeah, oh

I know I won't last forever
If there's nothing left in your heart for me
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Too young to die and too old
I'm too young to die and too old
To believe in
Promises, yeah, yeah

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, yeah
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, yeah
We all walk alone
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, yeah
Do, do, do, do, do, do
