Alphabet City Lyrics - 1987

[ Buy Alphabet City ]

Was it rage or regret

Or the love i was feeling

In this age - who's perfect... are you?



Wasn't made to forget

This moment worth stealing

Was it rage or regret or the two



Every morning when i wake up

Wake up dreaming then... wake up dreaming

Build a temple from your fragrance

Build a chapel in your heart



Do you really understand

Do you feel the need to try

Do you even care for me

Do you ever wonder why



Rage and then regret

'bout as real as real can get

Rage and then regret



Through the violence the angry silence

Does our love, grow strong or die

A parachute or a pilots license

Do we fall in love or fly



Do you really understand

Do you feel the need to cry

Do you even care bout me

Do you ever wonder why



Rage and then regret

'bout as real as real can get

Rage and then regret



The harder we come

The harder we fall

The harder it is to stand tall

The more that we fight

The more that we brawl

The more we're alike - that's all... that's all



Rage and then regret

'bout as real as real can get

Rage and then regret

Rage and then regret

'bout as real as real can get

There are things you don't forget

Anger cools to idle threats
