Oh when we were seventeen    Oh life was like a film    When we were seventeen    The sky was always tangerine    We ran through streets at night    Under starlight    We ran through 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've 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 days 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       ahhhhh aaaaahh aaaaaah aaaaaaah    aaaaahhh aaaaah aaaaaaaaaah
