[Days of Innocent Youth] [music intro] Life's a beam of starlight illuminating my mind I can now see clearly the passage of stolen time Making half-hearted attempts to find the obvious truth how I remember, yes I remember All those sinful days of innocent youth All those sinful days of innocent youth Playing at school but learning what life means Making inept moves in strange love scenes Mistakes falling like cruel unending rain Knowing like time, we could never stay the same All those sinful days of innocent youth All those sinful days of innocent youth [bridge] Teach me, I've tried! Believe me, I've lied! Forgive me, I've cried! Things I should have faithfully done Are now things that can't be undone Learning life's nothing like a love song Outlaws meaning right but doing wrong All those sinful days of innocent youth All those sinful days of innocent youth Wanting, wishing - needing, pleading Strange how I gave so much for so little In the heat of the passion, rolling the dice Willing to sacrifice, pay any wicked price All those sinful days of innocent youth All those sinful days of innocent youth [instrumental break] [bridge] Teach me, I've tried! Believe me, I've lied! Forgive me, I've cried! Wanting to be young forever with no cares Fearing the responsibility of coming years Nothing is the same anymore, world got old All our Wonderful dreams got sold I need to know - Where did it all go? All those sinful days of innocent youth All those sinful days of innocent youth oh, how I remember, yes I remember Making half-hearted attempts to find the obvious truth All those sinful days of innocent youth All those sinful days of innocent youth. innocent youth! innocent youth! [instrumental fade]
