I kept the right ones out
And let the wrong ones in
Had an angel of mercy
to see me through all my sins
There were times in my life
When I was goin' insane
Tryin to walk through
The pain
When I lost my grip
And I hit the floor
Yeah, I thought I could leave,
but couldn't get out the door
I was so sick and tired
Of livin' a lie
I was wishin that I
Would die
It's amazing
With the blink of an eye
you finally see the light
Oh, it's amazing
When the moment arrives
that you know you'll be alright
Yeah, it's amazing
And I'm sayin' a prayer
for the desperate hearts tonight

That one last shot's
a Permanent Vacation
And how high can you fly
with broken wings?
Life's a journey
not a destination
And I just can't tell
just what tomorrow brings

You have to learn to crawl
Before you learn to walk
But I just couldn't listen
to all that righteous talk
oh yeah
I was out on the street
Just tryin' to survive
Scratchin' to stay
Alive
It's amazing
With the blink of an eye
you finally see the light
Oh, it's amazing
When the moment arrives
that you know you'll be alright
Oh, it's amazing
And I'm sayin' a prayer
for the desperate hearts tonight
Desperate hearts

Desperate hearts...

So,
from all of us at Aerosmith
To all of you out there,
wherever you are
Remember,
the light at the end of the tunnel
May be you
Goodnight
