Lyrics and translation
Original
Life after youth.
Faded in twilight.
The dawn of a criminal in bloom.
First love, first forgiveness.
We were delinquents.
Freaks of a fading memory.
Outlaws.
When we were forever young.
When we were outlaws.
We're outlaws of redemption, baby.
Hooligans.
We destroyed suburbia.
When we were outlaws.
We're outlaws of forever.
Scars.
Broken hearts.
Breaking in cars.
Running in the light of the moon.
Lost souls.
Bottle rockets.
All that we wanted.
It's for our life beyond the stars.
Outlaws.
When we were forever young.
When we were outlaws.
We're outlaws of redemption, baby.
Hooligans.
We destroyed suburbia.
When we were outlaws.
We're outlaws of forever, baby.
I've got bad skin and bad vision.
Nothing will change my spirit. Years to live.
I plead my innocence. I plead my innocence. But that's my best defense.
When you are young. Outlaws.
When we were forever young.
When we were outlaws.
We're outlaws of redemption, baby. Hooligans.
We destroyed suburbia.
When we were outlaws.
The outlaws of forever.
I found a knife by the railroad track.
You took a train and you can't go back.
Forever now, forever now you're wrong.
