Artist/Band: New York Dolls
Lyrics for Song: Seventeen
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - New York Dolls



I was down the street one night

I was only made of light

Saw some kids from the park

They was howlin' the dark

They just wanna fuss and fight



I was only seventeen

Post-conventional

Only seventeen

It was as clear as crystal



That in its wildest dreams

Magic never thought

That it would get done

By the myth it gone slum(?)

All the goddesses and gods you brought



I was seventeen

When I saw it go down

Only seventeen

Back in that lonely town



All them gods and goddesses

Didn't imagine it at all

A race that could and would

Make 'em so temporal

Make 'em seem all rational



Only seventeen

Yet I still understood

I was all that you are

In your neighborhood



Yet here we all stood

Confident and smug, well-viewed.

(?)

(?)

Explodin' all (?)



I was only seventeen

(?)

Only seventeen

And we were pressed at the gills



The limitations of ourselves

That's what we're up against

Tomorrow's sun would sure rise

On a world that transcends

If this stormy night ever ends

If this stormy night ever ends

If this stormy night ever ends

This stormy night ever ends

If this stormy night ever ends

Ever ends

When's it gonna end?

If this stormy night ever ends



(pause, then whistling)
