  • Yay though we venture through
    The valley of the stars
    You and all your jewelry
    And my bleeding heart

    Who couldn't be together
    And who could not be apart

    We should've jumped out
    Of that airplane after all
    Flying sky ways overhead
    It wasn't hard to fall
    And I had so many crashes
    That I couldn't feel at all

    And it feels like
    I'm seventeen again
    Feels like I'm seventeen

    Times might break you
    God forsake you
    Leave you burned and bruised
    Innocence will teach you
    What it feels like to be used
    Thought that you'd done everything
    You didn't have a clue

    And it feels like
    I'm seventeen again
    Feels like I'm seventeen

    Looking from the outside in
    Some things never change
    Hey hey I'm a million miles away
    Funny how it seems like yesterday

    All those fake celebrities
    And all those viscous queens
    All the stupid papers
    And the stupid magazines
    Sweet dreams are made of anything
    That gets you in the scene

    And it feels like
    I'm seventeen again
    Feels like I'm seventeen

    Sweet dreams are made of this
    Who am I to disagree
    I travel the world and the seven seas
    Everybody's looking for something
    Yeah Writer/s: ANNIE LENNOX, DAVID ALLAN STEWART
