  i was walking around, just a face in the crowd
  trying to keep myself out of the rain
  saw a vagabond king wear a styrofoam crown
  wondered if i might end up the same
  there's a man out on the corner
  singing old songs about change
  everybody got their cross to bare, these days
  
  she came looking for some shelter with a suitcase full of dreams
  to a motel room on the boulevard
  guess she's trying to be james dean
  she's seen all the disciples and all the "wanna be's"
  no one wants to be themselves these days
  still there's nothing to hold on to but these days
  
  these days - the stars seem out of reach
  these days - there ain't a ladder on these streets
  these days - are fast, love don't last in this graceless age
  there ain't nobody left but us these days
  
  jimmy shoes busted both his legs, trying to learn to fly
  from a second story window, he just jumped and closed his eyes
  his momma said he was crazy - he said momma "i've got to try"
  don't you know that all my heroes died
  and i guess i'd rather die than fade away
  
  these days - the stars seem out of reach
  but these days - there ain't a ladder on these streets
  these days are fast, love don't lasts-in this graceless age
  even innocence has caught the morning train
  and there ain't nobody left but us these days
  
  i know rome's still burning
  though the times have changed
  this world keepd turning round and round and round and round
  these days
  
  these days - the stars seem out of reach
  but these days - there ain't a ladder on these streets
  these days are fast, love don't lasts-in this graceless age
  even innocence has caught the morning train
  and there ain't nobody left but us these days
  
  these days - the stars seem out of reach
  these days - there ain't a ladder on these streets
  these days - are fast, nothing lasts
  there ain't no time to waste
  there ain't nobody left to take the blame
  there ain't nobody left but us these days
• bon jovi nin en karanlık albümüdür.
  hey god ve something for believing gibi inancı sorgulayan şarkılara , as my guitar lies bleeding in my arms , this aint a love song ve letting you go gibi balladlara , diamond ring gibi de albüm konsepti dışı şarkılara rastlanan bir albüm.
  bence en iyi albümleri de budur.

  well i've been out walking
  i don't do that much talking these days
  these days--
  these days i seem to think a lot
  about the things that i forgot to do
  for you
  and all the times i had the chance to
  
  and i had a lover
  it's so hard to risk another these days
  these days--
  now if i seem to be afraid
  to live the life i have made in song
  well it's just that i've been losing so long
  
  i'll keep on moving
  things are bound to be improving these days
  these days--
  these days i sit on corner stones
  and count the time in quarter tones to ten, my friend
  don't confront me with my failures
  i had not forgotten them

  these days
  
  now i'm not feeding off you, i will rearrange your scales
  if i can, and i can
  march into ocean, march into the sea
  
  i had a hat i put it down and it sunk, reached down,
  yanked it up, slapped it on my head
  all the people gather
  fly to carry each his burden
  we are young despite the years we are concern
  we are hope despite the times
  all of the sudden, these days
  happy throngs, take this joy wherever, wherever....
  
  i wish to meet each one of you
  and you, me, you, if i can and i can
  we have many things in common, name three
  
  i had a hat and it sunk, reached down,
  yanked it up, slapped it on my head
  all the people gather
  fly to carry each his burden
  we are young despite the years we are concern
  we are hope despite the times
  all of the sudden, these days
  happy throngs, take this joy wherever, wherever you go.

  buyrun lirikleri:
  
  it's coming round again
  the slowly creeping hand
  of time and its command
  soon enough it comes
  and settles in its place
  its shadow in my face
  puts pressure in my day
  
  this life well it's slipping right through my hands
  these days turned out nothing
  like i had planned
  
  it's coming round again
  the slowly creeping hand
  of time and its command
  and settles in its place
  its shadow in my face
  puts pressure in my day
  soon enough it comes
  and settles in its place
  its shadow in my face
  undignified and lame
  
  this life well it's slipping right through my hands
  these days turned out nothing
  like i had planned
  control well it's slipping right through my hands
  these days turned out nothing
  like i had planned
  soon enough it comes
  to tie us down
