Because Of You, Tonight

Klimt 1918


Here comes the lipgloss, the brand name of their age 
Roomates just paint love, eye shadow turns to pink 
Boys have a crush on the teenage da - da girls 
tonight with shaking hands their red ties 
Young people dance 
undressed 
with tears hidden in their eyes 
and with fear they pretend to embrace 
drunken harms at night 
'You can take me in your hands' they say 
Kissin' with lines of escape in mouth 
Comin' home late at late night to cry in front of their mirrors

Bitter sweet girls have a secret wish 
Lonely boys have not the heart to phone 
Love inside won't let them back to sleep 
They have lost control 
Take a second to say goodbye and then 
please don't bite your lips when you walk alone 
Youth, time is coming 
Because of you tonight 
I feel life, I choose pain 
I give up nostalgia 
Now help me pray for you 
Don't cry for yesterday 
Stay wild another time 
Carry on this mortal coil
