Tragic youth was looking young and sexy
Tragic youth was wearing tattered black jeans
Bearing arms and flaunting all her mischief
The tragic youth was going down on me
And I swear
Whoo-hoo
Yes, I swear
Whoo-hoo
Built a wall of sound to separate us
Hid among the junk of wretched highs
Sped from Planet X to Planet Alpha
Struggling for reality
Ha-ha-ha-ha

Now my sight is failing in this twilight
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Now my death is more than just a sad song
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
And I swear
Whoo-hoo
Yes, I swear
Whoo-hoo
I still don't remember how this happened
Still don't get the wherefores and the whys
Try to make some sense, it never happens
Welcome to reality
Ha-ha-ha-ha
Whoo-hoo
I've been right and I've been wrong
Now I'm back where I started from
Never looked over reality's shoulder
Ha-ha-ha-ha
Whoo-hoo
Ha-ha-ha-ha

Oh, thank you, yes
Let's say some stuff here
So, how you doing, firstly?
Good, two things, we got-
Hope you got a-, it's like, sleeping bags and tents
'Cause this might be a really long show tonight
And uh, listen, you know, last night, I gave my voice a belting
So if I ask you to join in some of the things to help me out, yeah?
Some of those, oh, not terribly enthusiastic there
If I ask you to help me out, yeah? (Yeah)
Thank God, 'cause some were "ugh", a bit "ah", you know
But no matter, you know, we just battle through it, it'll be good (yeah)
We'll have a good night
