Ultrasuede

Standing in the open streets
Behind another camera
Everybody knows you well
You're like a superstar
Turtlenecks and cigarettes
In Harry's New York bar
Drink for drink and chat for chat
We're forgetting who we are

And everybody knows me now
Since I came around
And I've been trying to tell you how

I wasn't gonna live forever
I wasn't gonna live forever
I wasn't gonna live forever
I wasn't gonna live forever
I wasn't gonna

Ultrasuede and glitter rain
And everything is turned to pain
Somebody is dancing to
A melancholic broadway tune
I've never had a mind
I never had no time to shine
Shivers running down my spine
And I'm smoking all the time

And everybody knows me now
Since you came around
And I've been trying to tell you how

I wasn't gonna live forever
I wasn't gonna live forever
I wasn't gonna live forever
I wasn't gonna live forever

I would trade my life to live in New York in the seventies
The streets are drenched in gold and
Maybe you will know then
I would trade my life to walk with you in downtown Central Park
'Cause I don't want to stay here
We got to get away my dear

I wasn't gonna live forever
I wasn't gonna live forever
I wasn't gonna live forever
I wasn't gonna live forever

I wasn't gonna live forever
I wasn't gonna live forever
I wasn't gonna live forever
I wasn't gonna live forever
I wasn't gonna
