  • Where is the life we started?
    Yesterday's a door opening for the departed

    The life of the party's gone
    The guests are still remained,
    Know they'll stay a little longer

    Party girls will soon get old,
    Party boys will lie them
    Both the sexes soon grow cold
    And tears caught to their eyes

    Serious talks, no fun,
    And when the lights go out
    You feel like you wanna run

    'Cause there's no one here but us,
    By the end of the game we all get thrown under the bus

    I can't feel nothing real,
    My lights are all burned out
    I can't feel nothing real

    What is the point of friendship?
    It's nobody's fault, but this nightlife is just a death trip
    You think you're getting hot steel
    But in the light of day everything's a dirty deal

    And yesterday's a door that's opening for the departed
    Yesterday's a door that's opening for the departed
    So where is the life we started?
    Where is the life we started? Writer/s: IGGY POP, JAMES ROBERT WILLIAMSON, SCOTT ASHETON
