Accent On Youth Lyrics - Singles - Ultravox

What is this phase that I am going through 

O these precious years 

Please take my hand and let me breathe again 

Young depressive tears 

We stumble blindly chasing something new and something sinful 

You take my time you live my life for me 

What have I done to rate this penalty 

You suck me dry 

My body cries 

We stumble blindly chasing instant thrills and lasting memories 

Accent on youth 

Attention 

Ascends on you 

I scream with frustration and lost control 

Open for the blows 

My hands fall limp and hang down by my side 

Take my soul and go 

We stumble blindly chasing dancing lights and others' wishes 

(Chorus) 

Just let me close my eyes and slip away 

Dream a dream alone 

You give me just enough rope for the task 

Let this man alone 

We stumble blindly chasing silhouettes and vacant faces 

So well rehearsed our moves once so graceful turn against us 

We stalk dark passages, we're looking for that sweet surrender
