Accent on Youth
Ultravox
What is this phase that I am going through
Oh these precious years
Please take my hand
And let me breathe again
Young depressive tears
We stumble blindly
Chasing something new and something sinful
You take my time you live my life for me
What have I done
To rate this penalty
You suck me dry
My body cries
We stumble blindly chasing instant thrills
And lasting memories
Accent on youth attention oh
Ascends on you oh oh
I scream with frustration and lost control
Open, for the blows
My hands fall limp
And hang down by my side
Take my soul and go
We stumble blindly chasing dancing lights
And others wishes
Accent on youth attention oh
Ascends on you oh oh
Just let me close my eyes and slip away
Dream a dream alone
You give me just enough rope
For the task
Let this man alone
We stumble blindly chasing silhouettes and vacant faces
So well rehearsed our moves
Once so graceful turn against us
We stalk dark passages
We're looking for that sweet surrender
Accent on youth attention oh
Ascends on you oh oh
Accent on youth
Accent on youth oh oh
