Where deperate souls just hang around

Waiting for a reason to believe

The young get old and the old they stay

And slowly they just fade away

But I'm going not down that way no I'm not going down
D C G
Cause I've been the loser desperate to win
D C G
And I've tasted snake oil and I've tasted sin
G D C G
I've stumbled through the darkness on the outskirts of town
