promises

police cars round in circles, the silence gathering, you never know what's next down here, close your eyes and shut your mouth, and 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, the ambulance is singing, to streetcars in the rain, like barracuda waiting, for the guns down the road, 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, and i know i won't last forever, there's nothing left in your heart for me, baby, baby, baby, baby, too young to die and too old, too young to die and too old, to believe in promises, na na na na, we all walk alone
