about

The original single version of this band favorite features a slightly different mix than the version found on the IMPERIAL PHASE album.

lyrics

Your golden teenage was your imperial phase
When the world was yours to take and take
Surfing the zeitgeist was quite nice there up on the wave
But you had to know, it had to break

Don’t let the sun set on your golden state
Don’t let them tell you the turning tide won’t obey
Don’t let them see your faults or the fears that make you quake
Don’t let go of your hold

It’s just like S.E. Hinton said, Stay gold

They took your lookbook and ripped up every page
They said your bling ring it had to fade
The time for détente is long gone, they’re set to invade
But they don’t know, you’re gathering strength

Don’t let the sun set on your golden state
Don’t let them tell you the turning tide won’t obey
Don’t let them see your faults or the fears that make you quake
Don’t let go of your hold

It’s just like S.E. Hinton said, Stay gold
It’s just like S.E. Hinton said, Stay gold
Stay gold
Stay gold
