What was I supposed to do?
Live without loving you
Forget the rumble in the rain
Let it fade with the howling train
What was I supposed to do?
ย
Who was I supposed to be?
Anybody else but me
Ditch the poetry of Johnny Cage
The cigarettes and the switch-blades
Who was I supposed to be?
ย
If only someone could see
The gold that lies beneath
Oh, but I do
Yeah, I do
And it's the hardest to keep
So when it fades, don't you weep
But I do
Yeah, I do
ย
Those wild and beautiful things
Turned-up collars and rolled-up jeans
Tracks of tears caked with mud
All mixed up with the orphans' blood
Those wild and beautiful things
ย
If only someone could see
The gold that lies beneath
Oh, but I do
Yeah, I do
And it's the hardest to keep
So when it fades don't you weep
But I do
Yeah, I do
