[Verse 1]
Oh, when we were seventeen
Our life was like a film
When we were seventeen
The sky was always tangerine
We ran through streets at night
Under starlight
We roam the streets at night
When we were winning

[Verse 2]
Oh, wild was the world
And wild we burned
We were kings of the streets
Not yet beaten by defeat
But now it's hard to see
Through a fog of memories
But I remember

[Refrain]
When we were winning

[Verse 3]
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
[Refrain]
When we were winning

[Bridge]
What have we done to our lives?
We could have been anything
We gave it our love, for what?
This is the time (Ah, ah, ah)

[Instrumental]

[Verse 4]
Oh, it's in the air at night
There is a wind coming in
The day's dying
Oh, it's so beautiful
There's something happening somewhere
I take the bus into town
All I see is laughing

[Refrain]
And we are winning (Ah, ah, ah)

[Verse 5]
Soon, I grow older (Ah, ah)
But God knows (Ah, ah)
I haven't lived yet (Ah, ah)
Before tonight's a memory (Ah, ah)
Let's go out (Ah, ah)
I am still young (Ah, ah)
[Outro]
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
