New York, you never sleep That night I swear that you were sleeping Storm came, flooding the streets My friends and I walked out on the expressway Long before we cared about winning Or worried about our parents getting older Back when life was just beginning Put our faces to the rain, and the wind, and the cold, and we felt it We were broke We were brave 25 years in a hurricane Whoo, we were wild, we were wasted Up all night, we'd dream all day Almost let you slip away Whoo, we were wild, we were wasted Running wild in the wasteland In the eye of the storm Woke up to fireworks in the backyard Someone playing a guitar The sun danced along on the horizon Long before we cared about winning Or worried about if we were getting older Back when life was just beginning Put our faces to the rain, and the wind, and the cold, and we felt it We were broke We were brave 25 years in a hurricane Whoo, we were wild, we were wasted Up all night, we'd dream all day Almost let you slip away Whoo, we were wild, we were wasted Running wild in the wasteland ♪ We were wild, we were wasted Running wild in the wasteland We were broke We were brave 25 years in a hurricane Whoo, we were wild, we were wasted (oh) Up all night, we'd dream all day Almost let you slip away Whoo, we were wild, we were wasted Running wild in the wasteland ♪ Running wild in the wasteland Running wild in the wasteland Running wild in the wasteland
