Lyrics
What was I supposed to do?
Live without loving you
Forget the rumble in the rain
Let it fade with the howling train
What was I supposed to do?
Who was I supposed to be?
Anybody else but me
Ditch the poetry of Johnny Cage
The cigarettes and the switch-blades
Who was I supposed to be?
If only someone could see
The gold that lies beneath
Oh, but I do
Yeah, I do
And it's the hardest to keep
So when it fades, don't you weep
But I do
Yeah, I do
Those wild and beautiful things
Turned-up collars and rolled-up jeans
Tracks of tears caked with mud
All mixed up with the orphans' blood
Those wild and beautiful things
If only someone could see
The gold that lies beneath
Oh, but I do
Yeah, I do
And it's the hardest to keep
So when it fades don't you weep
But I do
Yeah, I do
