An unfinished demo from 1981. The melody on the verses was eventually used for “The Longest Time”.
A large part of this demo is without lyrics.
There you are
With nowhere left to hide
All the toys
Of childhood put aside
You think you need them
But that's the price of freedom
That's the cost of living
In the prime of your life
We done say...Da da da da dum dum dum...
Dum da dum...Ah dum da dum du dum...
Ah dum da da dum...There's no more conversation...
Luh ba dum bum, living in the prime of your life
Oh oh ba da da dum ba da da dum ba wah
Dadadada ba dum da da da dum da wah
Dadada...Da da da da dum dum dum...
Dum da dum...Ah dum da is crying la la lum...
Your own reflection
Will answer all your questions
If you don't believe you're in the prime of your life
......Four......Five......Bridge......
Oh oh ba dada dum ba dada dum ba wah...
Dadadada ba dum da da da dum da wah
Da da da da dum dum dum, dum, da dum...Ah dum da dum du dum...
Ah dum da da dum...It's only make believe
And that's the take you're living in the prime of your life
Four......Five......Four......Five......Four......
