Nineteen Forever Lyrics - Joe Jackson

Sometimes I feel so alive 

Sometimes I see so clear 

Just like the way we always were 

So young and free from fear 

I lose my fear of war and dying 

And all the clouds just disappear 

Only my mirror sees me crying 

Each time I lose another year 

Wouldn't be a drag to be like you 

Settling down and having kids 

And telling them what to do 

Well I'm gonna stay 

Nineteen forever 

We can do magic in these times 

Be what we want to be 

We'll all be rock 'n' roll stars 

Immortal on TV 

And if you see me looking tired 

I've just been sleeping thought the day 

But I got something to keep me wired 

So we can dance the night away 

Wouldn't it be a drag to be like them 

They're gonna sell out everything 

But I won't get fooled again 

Cause I'm gonna be 

Nineteen forever 

You better believe it 

You know my dream's still alive 

You can love it or leave it 

But I'm never gonna be 35
