Oh when we
were seventeen
Our life
was like a film
When we were seventeen
The sky
was always tangerine
We ran
through streets at night
Under starlight
We roam the streets
at night
When we were winning
Oh wild was the world
And wild we burned
We were kings
of the streets
Not yet beaten by defeat
But now
it's hard to see
Through a fog
of memories
But I remember
When we were winning
Now my friends
are unemployed
Not needed in this world
Pushed down by this town
and always turned down
But in dreams at night
they can sometimes recall
when we were heroes
When we were winning
What have we done
to our lives
We could have been
anything
We gave it our love
for what
This is the time
Oh it's in the air
at night
There is a wind
coming in
The day's dying
Oh it's so beautiful
There's something
happening somewhere
I take the bus into town
All I see is laughing
And we are winning
Soon I grow older
But God knows
I haven't lived yet
Before tonight's a memory
Let's go out
I am still young
Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
