Boys like us don't last that long
We don't turn into old men
And we don't sing our old songs
Caution to the wind
Is so Goddamned slow
We'll throw caution to the flame
And we'll watch it explode
Someone might see it
Someone might care
But as soon as they notice
We won't be there
As sure as the stars in your narrow sky
We're the ghost of a sequence
Written in time
We don't own anything
So we don't owe anything
There won't be one single trace
Of us left on this place
Anyway, any way
So if it's all for not
Then why not all at once
Just pack up all my Vice and Joy
And shoot me into the Sun
We want so desperately to be heard
Oh we pine and we sigh
Over every word
The mistakes we make
Onward to that flame
They're just mile markers telling us
How far away
We don't own anything
So we don't owe anything
There won't be one single trace
Of us left on this place
Anyway, any way
So if it's all for not
Then why not all at once
Just pack up all my Vice and Joy
And shoot me into the Sun
I know its too late
It always was
And it always will be
For boys like us
And it always will be
For boys like us
