It's a poor boy's life
In a rock n' roll band
All the money that you make
Just changes hands
If you're young enough
It dosen't grind you down
You're just poor boys
Workin' your way uptown
Workin' all night in the broken glass
To forget you were born
In the workin' class
And you shake your body
Til it shakes the ground
Just poor boys
Workin' their way uptown
Just let it roll
Through the smoke and heat
Might be a record man
In a front row seat
There's plenty of room
On the merry-go-round
For poor boys
Workin' their way uptownone million chances i found tonite
you are there to be my guide
carryin' me to your absence of light
and i want it
tell me something new
tell me something strange
overall the sense of this pouring rain
all i left behind
all the tears i cried
fallin' down and down from my bleedin' eyes
you are the other part o' me
increasin' day by day
you are the contrary of the light
my worst enemy
(give me your soul tonite)
and i'm ready for you
(give me your heart tonite)
and i accept my destiny for you
(i want everything of you)
you are the mirror where i'm watching thru
turn my mortal flesh
into grains of sand
turn my tearing eyes
in the darkest night
let me be your slave
let me fade away
in your open arms
i will find my god
you are the other part o' me
increasin' day by day
you are the contrary of the light
my worst enemy
(give me your soul tonite)
and i'm ready for you
(give me your heart tonite)
and i accept my destiny for you
(i want everything of you)
you are the mirror where i'm watching thru
one million chances i found tonite
you are there to be my guide
carryin' me to your absence of light
and i want it
(give me your soul tonite)
and i'm ready for you
(give me your heart tonite)
and i accept my destiny for you
(i want everything of you)
you are the mirror where i'm watching thru
