“Lost Boys” is a synth-rock track by Essenger and trio Young Medicine, inspired by the 1987 vampire film “The Lost Boys”. It was the fourth song released of Essenger’s “After Dark” album later that year, where it featured as the ninth track.
[Verse 1: Essenger]
Save yourself, leave me here
Tie me down and disappear
Tell them nothing, don't make a sound, taste your fear as the sun does down
And the shadows fill the night
[Chorus: Young Medicine]
Yeah, save yourself, you'll burn in Hell
For what you've done but never die
One day you'll stand for something
So fear yourself, no soul to sell
Nowhere to run, now you know why
Lost boys don't cry for nothing
[Verse 2: Essenger]
Time is up, your days are few
Fate's unkind to those like you
Pick your poison, I'll hunt you down, dig your grave at the edge of town
Not a trace left to be found
[Chorus: Young Medicine]
Yeah, save yourself, you'll burn in Hell
For what you've done but never die
One day you'll stand for something
So fear yourself, no soul to sell
Nowhere to run, now you know why
Lost boys don't cry for nothing
[Bridge: Young Medicine]
You know we run this town at night (Thou shalt not fall)
It's one for all and you won't find us dead by daylight
It's what it means to be alive (Thou shalt not fall)
From hell we crawl and tonight we ride by moonlight
[Chorus: Essenger & Young Medicine]
Yeah, save yourself, you'll burn in Hell
For what you've done but never die
One day you'll stand for something
So fear yourself, no soul to sell
Nowhere to run, now you know why
Lost boys don't cry for nothing
