Promises


Police cars round in circles 
The silence gathering 
You never know what's next down here 
Close your eyes and shut your mouth 

Chorus: 
And I know I won't last forever 
If there's nothing left in your heart for me 
Baby, baby, baby, baby 
Too young to die and too old 
To believe in 
Promises 

The ambulance is singing 
To streetcars in the rain 
Like barracuda waiting 
For the guns down in the hood 

Chorus: 
But this ain't no West Side Story 
And the curtain's comin' down on me 
Baby, baby, baby, baby 
Too young to die and too old 
To believe in 
Promises 

It's all sound and all fury 
It's all reach and no touch 
It's all life's cold bravado 
All grown up and old so fast 

Chorus: 
And I know I won't last forever 
If there's nothing left in your heart for me 
Baby, baby, baby, baby 
Too young to die and too old 
I'm too young to die and too old 
To believe in 
Promises 
Na na na na --- we all walk alone
