Destiny Street Lyrics by Richard Hell and the Voidoids

Destiny Street

0

I was walking down the street today
When I stepped off a curb into ten years ago
It was ten years past, and I saw myself at the age of twenty-one
Looking right back at the man I've now become
I scared myself, I was horrified
But elated, too
Like I'd escaped from ten year's shell
I'd never known was fulla Hell
Instantly, I realized
This had happened to me once before
When I was the younger guy
And now I'd have to live it though once more
Yes, I seduced myself
I took me home
I whispered, only I could make the younger guy
Feel less alone
I was playing with myself
We were playing house
Pretending we could hide inside the past and future
To avoid our present self
I loved myself so much that day
I thought that I could trick my fate
I took the fall for ten year's time
Thinking that it'd be a pleasant wait
Yes, down on Destiny Street today
I found out twice
That playing for the past or future
Is playing with a fool's pair of dice
