Oh the clouds are sailing by And I've been thinking on the side They drain my soul these smiles We need to get ready to die Oh I've got to be ready to starve Like when we were young & armed The sun sets, there's an alarm I see when we were Young & armed It's raining I'm not sad And though there's no reason to compare I thought of days we shared I saw pictures in the air And now I can't be living real Don't even know how I feel Remember we'd risk it all Now I need what we had Young & armed And I've lost the ones I was Nobody keeps in touch And I'm climbing the mountains for a clue For what young & armed I just knew Now I drift to where I can't hide Be looking for a new ride Around people slowly die I see when we were Young & armed Them righteous bending my arm I'll get what we had Young & armed
