Tragic youth was looking young and sexyThe tragic youth was wearing tattered black jeansBearing arms and flaunting all her mischiefThe tragic youth was going down on meAnd I swearWoo hooYes I swearI built a wall of sound to separate usAnd hid among the junk of wretched highsI sped from Planet X to Planet AlphaStruggling for realityWoo hooWhoo hooHey, now my sight is failing in this twilightNow my death is more than just a sad songAnd I swearWoo hooYes I swearWoo hooI still don't remember how this happenedI still don't get the wherefores and the whysI look for sense but I get next to nothingHey boy welcome to realityWoo hooI've been right and I've been wrongNow I'm back where I started fromNever looked over reality's shoulderHuh ha ha haWoo hooHuh ha haWoohWoo hooWooh
