Don't Let Our Youth Go To Waste

(альбом: The Original Modern Lovers - 1981)

I need a walk by the flowers
With someone who can share my face
And it looks like no one can take your place
And I could bleed in sympathy with you
On those days
And I could drink up everything you have
Don't let it go to waste

I could give you memories
To rival Berlin in the '30s
And I really understand your dating-bar ways
And I could bleed in sympathy with you
On those days
And I could drink up everything you have
Don't let it go to waste

Say something warm, say something bright
'Cause I can't stand to see you when you're cold
Nor can I stand being out of your life
(Meanwhile)
And I could bleed in sympathy with you
On those days
And I could drink up everything you have
(And don't let our youth go to waste)
