[Verse 1]
Down underground in the place where the future buzzes
Kiss and tell, chasing paper in a high-rise
Are you a tourist or a comrade, man don’t bore us
Take a hit and watch the morning fly
I’ve got some skins and some change for the taxi later
Life is risk, lose the bottle, cover your eyes
England is calling, I have nightmares where I’m falling
Wake up screaming in my country life
[Pre-Chorus]
Big deep breaths, you’re alright
[Chorus]
Don’t search my eyes like I’m a modеrn saint
Rock and roll Jesus, someone to savе your life
It ain’t celebrity culture in the golden days
Reach for the kill switch, can’t kill what gets me high
We say, “Take my number, take my picture
Take my heart and leave me alone”
In the morning, I’ll feel famous
Not page six but not unknown
[Verse 2]
Young, wild, and free, is it true, is it propaganda?
Fuckin’ A, in the Rote Rose at sunrise
Somehow I made it with the keys, God I was faded
Praying for something to crystalize
Seven deadly sins on my brain, I’m a sinner baby
De rigueur, where’s the glory in a false life?
Excess is so déclassé but I don’t know
If this perfect smile is worth the lies
[Chorus]
Don’t search my eyes like I’m a modern saint
Rock and roll Jesus, someone to save your life
This is celebrity culture in the golden age
Reach for the kill switch, can’t kill what gets me high
We say, “Take my number, take my picture
Take my heart and leave me alone”
In the morning, I’ll feel famous
Not page six but not unknown
(Grace under fire)
[Outro]
I’m not your puppet, I’m not your good boy
I have lust and I have rage
I wanna build my house and raise my children
In a soft and tender place
Second chances to be beautiful
Second chances to be pure
Second chances to be beautiful
I want your love but I want that more
