    'These Days' lyrics by JON BON JOVI

    I was walking around, just a face in the crowd

    Trying to keep myself out of the rain

    Saw a vagabond king wear a styrofoam crown

    Wondered if I might end up the same

    There's a man out on the corner, singing old songs about change

    Everybody got their cross to bare, these days

    She came looking for some shelter with a suitcase full of dreams

    To a motel room on the boulevard

    I guess she's trying to be James Dean

    She's seen all the disciples and all the wanna be's

    No one wants to be themselves these days

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

    These days - the stars seem out of reach

    These days - there ain't a ladder on these streets

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

    There ain't anybody left but us these days

    Jimmy shoes busted both his legs, trying to learn to fly

    From a second story window, he just jumped and closed his eyes

    His mamma said he was crazy - he said mamma "I've got to try"

    Don't you know that all my heroes died

    And I guess I'd rather die than fade away

    These days - the stars seem out of reach

    But these days - there ain't a ladder on the streets

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

    Even innocence has caught the midnight train

    And there ain't anybody left but but us these days

    I know Rome's still burning

    Though the times have changed

    This world keeps turning round and round and round and round

    These days

    These days - the stars seem out of reach

    But these days - there ain't a ladder on the streets

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

    Even innocence has caught the midnight train

    And there ain't anybody left but but us these days

    These days - the stars seem out of reach

    These days - there ain't a ladder on the streets

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

    There ain't no time to waste

    There ain't anybody left to take the blame

    And there ain't anybody left but but us these days

    There ain't anybody left but but us these days
