Strychnine

I dreamed I saw the ocean
 And you upon the shore
 I knew you were waiting
 To feel something more
 I said, All of this is ours my love
 Come and swim into the stars my love.
 And we walked into the joint like we owned the place
 And we learned to hold our heads up high in disgrace
 Laughing from the power lines
 Racing through the landmines
 Never a moment of doubt
 Dancing through the slaughterhouse
 Stumbling through pleasures much too fast
 We white knuckle those golden strychnine paths
 Youth is just a treasure that won't last
 So we recklessly ran, so much stronger than
 The places we'd gone or the waves we rode upon
 And we shined on despite all the laws
 And we poured our guts into the cause
 And we learned all that burns cannot last
 And we were stumbling through our borders much too fast
 White knuckle that golden strychnine past
 Youth is just a torture
 That won't last
 We were stumbling through our pleasures much too fast
 Ah, we white knuckle that golden strychnine past
 Youth is one of many tortures
 That just won't last
