Lyrics

[Verse 1] I was walkin' around, just a face in the crowd Tryna keep myself out of the rain Saw a vagabond king wear a styrofoam crown Wondered if I might end up the same There's a man out on the corner Who's singin' old songs about change Everybody got their cross to bare these days [Verse 2] She came lookin' for some shelter With a suitcase full of dreams To a motel room on the boulevard I guess she's tryna be James Dean She's seen all the disciples And all the wannabes No one wants to be themselves these days Still there's nothin' to hold on to but these days [Chorus] These days the stars ain't out of reach These days there ain't a ladder on the streets On, no, no, these days are fast, nothin' lasts In this graceless age There ain't nobody left but us these days [Verse 2] Jimmy Shoes, he busted both his legs Tryna learn to fly From a second story window He just jumped and closed his eyes His mama said he was crazy He said, "Momma, I've gotta try Don't you know that all my heroes died? And I guess I'd rather die than f-f-fade away" Yeah [Chorus] These days the stars ain't out of reach, yeah But these days there ain't a ladder on the streets On, no, no, these days are fast, love don't last It's a graceless age Even innocence has caught the midnight train There ain't nobody left but us these days [Bridge] (Woah, oh) (Woah, oh) I know Rome's still burnin' (Woah, oh) Though the times have changed (Woah, oh) This world keeps turnin' 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round these days [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] These days the stars ain't out of reach, yeah But these days there ain't a ladder on the streets On, no, no, these days are fast, love don't last It's a graceless age Even innocence has caught the midnight train These days the stars ain't out of reach, yeah But these days there ain't a ladder on the streets On, no, no, these days are fast, nothin' lasts There ain't no time to waste There ain't nobody left to take the blame Oh, no, no, there ain't nobody left but us these days [Post-Chorus] Ain't nobody left but us these days [Instrumental Outro]
