Artist: The Saints Album: (I'm) Stranded (1976) Title: Messin' With The Kid
Lyrics Messin' With The KidIt ain't too easy being a young man
Going round in circles all of the time
You've played their game now for so long can't see
What in the world are they trying to do to me
Sometimes you get that old lost feeling
Sometimes it hits you when you're feeling down
It's that old feeling that brings you down
I say it makes you crawl, right up the nearest wall
You walk down the main street out in the city
See all the girls now they are so pretty
But all their smiling faces are just going to pass you by
It don't make no difference no matter how hard you try
Sometimes you get that old lost feeling
Sometimes it hits you when you're feeling down
It's that old feeling that brings you down
I say it makes you crawl, right up the nearest wall
You been hanging around the alleys, hanging around the bars
Looking for some fun but there is none and there you are
Looking for some action, looking for some fun
But you are down in the gutter and you don't get none
No no there is nothing left to do
How do you feel now that it's all over
Your kid dreams all melted under the sun
Just like a kid take a trip down to the sea
I am struck out in the middle
With nothing left to say
Sometimes you get that old lost feeling
Sometimes it hits you when you're feeling down
It's that old feeling that brings you down
I say it makes you crawl, right up the nearest wall |
