Michael Webster - Youth decay

original text at lyrnow.com/1977892
Take heed, take me
Take me somewhere I ain’t ever been before
I walk on through the wastelands
Past the council estates where the sun never goes

Get drunk, smoke up
Find me lying on a pavement in the nearest car park
I don’t know what I’m doing
Trying to relive the time when we could have made it out before

And it’s taking too long, too long, taking way too long now

Live fast, die young
You won’t get very far at thirty miles an hour
Relive what you wanted to do
Before you went and became what you are now

And it’s taking too long, too long, taking way too long now

And you’re taking too long, too long, taking way too long somehow
