oh, when we were seventeen
oh, life was like a film
when we were seventeen
the sky was always tangerine
we ran through streets at night
under starlight
we ran through streets at night
when we were winning
oh wild was the world
and wild we burned
we were kings of the streets
not yet beaten by defeats
but now it's hard to see
through a fog of memories
but I remember
when we were winning
now my friends are unemployed
not needed in this world
pushed down by this town
and always turned down
but in dreams at night
they can sometimes recall
when we were heroes
when we were winning
what have we done to our lifes
we could have been anything
we gave it all up, for what
is there still time
oh it's in the air at night
there is a wind coming in
the day is dying
oh it's so beatiful
there's something happening somewhere
I take the bus into town
all else is nothing
and we are winning
soon I'll grow older
but god knows
I haven't lived yet
before tonight's a memory
lets go out, I am still young
