lyrics

YOU’RE ON YOUR OWN NOW


You are a child of the stars, you are an orphan of fate
You are a child of the stars , you are an orphan of fate
You’re a bullet locked in the chamber
You were born too late

Morning comes like a dog to steal your spirit away
Morning comes like a dog to steal your spirit away
The night swallows the sun and devours the day

And you
You’re on your own now
Yeah you
You’re on your own now

You were left to a world where love’s a memory
You were left to a world where love’s a memory
You stare alone into the face of misery

No one to keep you from harm, no one to hear you cry
No one to keep you from harm, no one to hear you cry
And no one to notice if you live or if you die


And you
You’re on your own now
Yeah you
You’re on your own now

Scrape and beg for your bread you have to fight everyday
Scrape and beg for your bread you have to fight everyday
The hawks forever circling you like prey

You are the last hope of a man, you are the conscience of shame
You’re the last hope of a man, you are the conscience of shame
If you don’t live ‘till tomorrow who is there to blame
If you don’t live ‘till tomorrow who is there to blame

And you
You’re on your own now
Yeah you
You’re on your own now
