Lyrics for Because You're Young
Psychodelicate girl Come out to play Little metal faced-boy Don't stay away They're so war-torn and resigned She can't talk anymore What are they trying to prove? What would they like to find? It's love back to front and no sides (like I say) These pieces are broken (like I say) These pieces are broken (oh, no, no, no, no, no) Because you're young You'll meet a stranger some night Because you're young What could be nicer for you? And it makes me sad So I'll dance my life away A million dreams, a million scars He punishes hard Was loving her such a crime? She took back everything she said Left him nearly out of his mind They're people I know, people I love They seem so unhappy Dead or alive It's love back to front and no sides (like I say) These pieces are broken (like I say) These pieces are broken (oh, no, no, no) Because you're young You'll meet a stranger some night Because you're young What could be nicer for you? And it'll make me sad So I'll dance my life away A million dreams, a million scars A million scars A million scars A million A million dreams A million A million A million A million A million
