high hopes

UNTITLED [social distortion]
i'm heading down a lonely highway
i'm running down a oneway street
all i wanna know are you going my way?
is there some place quiet where we can meet?
and friends they come & friends they go
but you were always by my side
and where it all ends i don't know
don't cry no more just hold on tight
there was a time when i was desperate
living in a town without a name
and when things got so dark & desolate
you taught me how to hide my shame
and kings & queens & millionaires
may never know what i have known
and thank the stars i'm the lucky one
thanx for the lessons that i've been shown
.
"i feel rich, i feel power & security
and when i'm weak you are strong
once in a lifetime, twice in eternity &
guess what?
nothing else matters anyways."

* de novo, pro tocha.
