Alexander David – Was I (The Last To Go?) lyrics

Album: Rolling Stone Review

You know a party girl like you
Has no place around a boy like me
You want your frenzied nights
Hard drinks and soft lights
But I can't see life like that no more
No I can't see life like that no more
No I can't see life like that no more
Please I can't see life like that no more

Was I the last to go
And was I the last to know
About you, about you
Was I the last to go
Was it all just one big show
The feeling suspends me
The conman defends me
I'm innocent you know

They're talking in their cars
They're flying to the stars
In ships made of porcelain fixtures
And dreams made of mescaline themes
The party life bores me,
Your friends all ignore me
I'm coming apart
At the seams

Was I the last to go
And was I the last to know
About you, about you
Was I the last to go
Was it all just one big show
The feeling suspends me
The conman defends me
I'm innocent you know

Don't you know that youth is fun
Come and dabble in the sun
Time is no cause for concern
We live in the now
But you might be the only one
Who stays on his cross for fun
Put down your values and learn
Or you're gonna sink now

The writing's been on the wall
Permanent pen marks never fall
While a young rebel fights through his tears
For what seems just a half million years
His patience has ended
His soul unbefriended
You reaffirm all of my fears
