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.



'Come on

7,8, 9, 10, 11
