ULTRAVOX - ACCENT ON YOUTH Lyrics

What is this phase that I am going throughOh these precious yearsPlease take my handAnd let me breathe againYoung depressive tearsWe stumble blindlyChasing something new and something sinfulYou take my time you live my life for meWhat have I doneTo rate this penaltyYou suck me dryMy body criesWe stumble blindly chasing instant thrillsAnd lasting memoriesAccent on youth attention ohAscends on you oh ohI scream with frustration and lost controlOpen, for the blowsMy hands fall limpAnd hang down by my sideTake my soul and goWe stumble blindly chasing dancing lightsAnd others wishesAccent on youth attention ohAscends on you oh ohJust let me close my eyes and slip awayDream a dream aloneYou give me just enough ropeFor the taskLet this man aloneWe stumble blindly chasing silhouettes and vacant facesSo well rehearsed our movesOnce so graceful turn against usWe stalk dark passagesWe're looking for that sweet surrenderAccent on youth attention ohAscends on you oh ohAccent on youthAccent on youth oh oh
