We follow the taillights out of the city
   Moving in a river of red
   As the colours fade away from the
   Dusky sunset
   We roll for the darkness ahead
  
   CHORUS:
   We are old, we are young
   We are in this together
   Vagabounds and children
   Prisoners forever
   With pulses a-raging
   And eyes full of wonder
   Kicking out behind us again
  
   Nighttime City Beat the radio is calling
   The lost and lonely in vain
   Out here we are running for the
   Wide open spaces
   The roadsmell after the rain
  
   CHORUS:
   We are old, we are young ...
  
   And watching as a boy alone
   At the keyside
   The ships loading cargo in the night
   Their names all calling to faraway places
   The years go past, the miles go by
   And still this childhood romance
   Will not die ...
  
   CHORUS:
   We are old, we are young ...
