Billy Idol
World’s Forgotten Boy
[Verse 1]
My road is long, it lingers on
You stare at me, am I holding on?
My eyes are dim, my breath is weak
And tears stain my cheek
Up there so high
Where the air is so thin
You look for signs, am I giving in?
All for me you bring crashing down
And still you condemn me
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh no, no shame
All my life
I'll not betray
I'll not shed one tear
All my life
Forever more, forever more
Ow!
[Chorus]
Sound towers will crumble down (O-o-ow!)
I see everything is broken down
His heart is breaking
Recorded in sound (O-o-ow!)
We need a miracle joy
We need a miracle boy
A rock 'n' roll toy
A rock 'n' roll joy
A rock 'n' roll boy
[Verse 2]
Now I know what's up for gain
What's up for grabs
What's down again
See all for me is crashing down
The end of everything
Every decent human being
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh no, no shame
All my life
I'll not betray
I'll shed all my fears
All my life
Forever more, forever more
Wow!
[Chorus]
Sound towers will crumble down, yeah
Well, everything will be broken down
See his heart is breaking
Recorded in sound, yeah
We need a miracle joy
We need a rock 'n' roll boy
I need a rock 'n' roll joy
A rock 'n' roll toy
A rock 'n' roll boy
[Guitar solo]
[Verse 3]
[?], The road is long, it lingers on
But my eyes are dim
My breath is weak
And tears stain my filthy cheeks
[Chorus]
Sound towers will crumble down, oo yeah
I see everything is broken down
Well, my heart is breaking and
Recorded in sound, yeah
I need a miracle joy
I need a miracle now
A rock 'n' roll boy
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, I'm hanging on a miracle tree
Yeah, hanging like a noose
For you and me (O-o-ow!)
Yeah
Say yeah, right now
