Take the forward path Have a big slice of the city Get the upper hand While you're still pretty

But you know what we're like No, they will never respect you The way you want them to respect you I think it's very well understood

But I'm I'm gonna hold on to you I'm gonna hold on to you You

Your cracked up shell A dead opera house You give yourself to them now In a game of cat and mouse

From the storyboard To the bedroom scene Through eleven World Wars Other people you have been

Well I'm Gonna hold on to you I'm gonna hold on to you You

Oh I'm Gonna hold on to you I'm gonna hold on to you You

I can come to terms With slowly going mad Things we used to fear in the dark And what ever lies beyond that

But I've come to resemble My own shadow As it falls into the sidewalk I'm no longer anyone I know

No-one here reminds me of you Yet I see no-one else On the crowded sidewalk

Well I'm I'm gonna hold on to you I'm gonna hold on to you You

Oh I'm I'm gonna hold on to you I'm gonna hold on to you Hold on to you Hold on to you I'm gonna hold on to you
