He was a kid,
who lived in a box
Stuck inbetween
a win and a loss
He made up his mind,
he wanted to rock
He sweat `til he bled,
the city was hot
Off of the page,
he wrote in his head
Awfully strange,
the things that he said
No time to waste,
he`s rotting in bed
But all through his pain,
he was laughing instead
7,8, 9, 10, 11 P.M.
He`s bumpin` to the beat without a single friend
Solo on the floor and it just don`t stop until he sees the stars
12, 1, 2, 3, 4 A.M.
And when the night`s over, he will do it again
Solo on the floor and it just don`t stop `til he sees the stars
He`s a lost cause
He was a kid,
who lived by the wheat
Who laid while awake,
but slept on his feet
He put on a show,
his stage was the street
He walked like a dog,
the city would see
Off of the page,
he wrote in his head
Awfully strange,
the things that he said
No time to waste,
he`s rotting in bed
But all through his rage,
he was laughing instead
7,8, 9, 10, 11 P.M.
He`s bumpin` to the beat without a single friend
Solo on the floor and it just don`t stop until he sees the stars
12, 1, 2, 3, 4 A.M.
And when the night`s over, he will do it again
Solo on the floor and it just don`t stop `til he sees the stars
He`s a lost cause
Can`t find out find out from someone else
The moves you make don`t move themselves
You can`t have everything tomorrrow, no, no, no
So when you wake up with the shakes
And hold your breath for your big break
Think you`ve finally lost your place,
It`s just waitng for you.
