Promises

Police cars round in circles

The silence gathering

You never know what's next down here

Close your eyes and shut your mouth

Chorus

And i know i won't last forever

If there's nothing left in your heart for me

Baby, baby, baby, baby

Too young to die and too old

To believe in

Promises

The ambulance is singing

To streetcars in the rain

Like barracuda waiting

For the guns down in the hood



Chorus



But this ain't no west side story

And the curtain's comin' down on me

Baby, baby, baby, baby

Too young to die and too old

To believe in

Promises

It's all sound and all fury

It's all reach and no touch

It's all life's cold bravado

All grown up and old so fast



Chorus



And i know i won't last forever

If there's nothing left in your heart for me

Baby, baby, baby, baby

Too young to die and too old

I'm too young to die and too old

To believe in

Promises

Na na na na -- we all walk alone
