Subject: Lyr Req: COMING OF AGE (Any Trouble)
Can anyone fill in the missing lyrics (there's quite a few!):

I can taste the poison on your lips
And see the stain on your fingertips
In a moment where ???
And gave the game away

???
Teenage threats ring in your ears
From the last day of school to your first week's wage
That's when you see me coming of age

You're a dancehall sweetheart dressed in blue
Who could fail to notice you?
You take the floor, kick off your shoes
And dance the night away

Kerbside crawlers give you rides
You're everyone's lover and no one's prize
A friend or a whore, it's hard to gauge
That's when you see me coming of age

Your face is known all over town
Your reputation lets you down
??? smiles, nothing too ???
They turn their heads away

??? rumours cramp your style
??? rank and file
Lights go down, you leave the stage
That's when you see me coming of age

Your dancing days are over now
The steps you take seem to last for hours
Though you may never scrape or bow
Or pass the time of day

Your ideal man's no ???
??? promise, quite a view
A girl to a woman in a single page
That's when you see me coming of age

Your last chance has passed you by
You're no one's lover, no one's prize
You're one poor bird ??? the cage
That's when you see me coming of age

That's when you see me
That's when you see
That's when you see me coming of age
