Was we ever so young? We were tripping into town Like there were Cannongate meter With the dirty little side street I can't remember much Though I,know we did like to shoplift We knew our lives stretched up to the stars And we were the masters of the universe Were we ever really that smart? How did we come this far? We would go skipping over the heart Over the city that shaped us We would go leaping into the arms Of anything that scared us So long before we learned the law Fearless and stupid and reckless and Free We were free So free We were free Ashes to ashes and dust to dust I was a witness to your love Ashes to ashes and dust to dust I was a witness to your love To your love Free We were free So free We were free We were so free you and me A witness to your love We were so free you and me A witness to your love We were so free you and me A witness to your love We were so free you and me We were so free you and me You're on patrol for me I'm on patrol for you You're on patrol for me I'm on patrol for you
