We used to stand on the corner of the street, 
Watching the world go by. 
Movin' on when the cops came along, 
Looking 'em in the eye. 

Young guys with stars in their eyes, 
Trying to make ends meet. 
Young guys with stars in their eyes, 
Dancin' to the beat.  [bad word] wild, 
We were livin' on dreams. [bad word] wild, 
Nothing's what it seems. [bad word] wild. 

(Holy show - show - show) 

The Alley Cats on a Saturday night,  [bad word] without a warning. 
Woodbines and a bottle of wine, 
And no school in the morning. 

Hot stuff, we acted so tough, 
We knew how to take a heed. 
Paying the dues by singing the blues, 
And dancin' to the beat.  [bad word] wild, 
We were livin' on dreams. [bad word] wild, 
Nothing's what it seems. [bad word] wild, 
We were livin' on dreams. [bad word] wild, 
Nothing's what it seems. 

Just like an ocean in motion, 
Sometimes you go too far. 
Then just to drop in the ocean, 
Crash and burn like a shooting star. 

Young guys with stars in their eyes, 
Just trying to make ends meet. 
Young guys with stars in their eyes, 
Dancin' to, dancin' to the beat.  [bad word] wild, 
We were livin' on dreams. [bad word] wild, 
Nothing's what it seems.  [bad word] wild, 
We were livin' on dreams. [bad word] wild, 
Nothing's what it seems.  [bad word] wild, 
We were livin' on dreams. [bad word] wild, 
Nothing's what it seems.  [bad word] wild, 
We were livin' on dreams. [bad word] wild, 
Nothin', nothin', nothing's what it seems.
