These Days Lyrics - Bon Jovi

1 I was walking around, just a face in the crowd

2 Trying to keep myself out of the rain

3 Saw a vagabond king wear a styrofoam crown

4 Wondered if I might end up the same

5 There's a man out on the corner

6 Singing old songs about change

7 Everybody got their cross to bear these days

8 She came looking for some shelter

9 With a suitcase full of dreams

10 To a motel room on the boulevard

11 Guess she's trying to be James Dean

12 She's seen all the disciples and all the wannabes

13 No one wants to be themselves these days

14 Still there's nothing to hold on to but these days

15 These days, the stars seem out of reach

16 These days, there ain't a ladder on these streets

17 These days are fast, nothing lasts in this graceless age

18 There ain't nobody left but us these days

19 Jimmy shoes busted both his legs

20 Trying to learn to fly

21 From a second story window

22 We just jumped and closed his eyes

23 His momma said he was crazy, he said: "Momma, I've got to try

24 Don't you know that all my heroes died?

25 And I guess I'd rather die than fade away"

26 These days, the stars seem out of reach

27 These days, there ain't a ladder on these streets

28 These days are fast, nothing lasts in this graceless age

29 Even innocence has caught the midnight train

30 There ain't nobody left but us these days

31 I know Rome's still burning

32 Though the times have changed

33 This world keeps turning round and round and round and round

34 These days

35 (solo)

36 These days, the stars seem out of reach

37 But these days, there ain't a ladder on these streets

38 These days are fast, love don't last in this graceless age

39 Even innocence has caught the midnight train

40 These days, the stars seem out of reach

41 These days, there ain't a ladder on these streets

42 These days are fast, nothing lasts

43 There ain't no time to waste

44 There ain't nobody left to take the blame

45 There ain't nobody left but us these days

46 There ain't nobody left but us these days
