The Grahams - Kids Like Us Lyrics




Hang down your head Maria and let your long hair down
There's nothing left undamaged on the streets of your hometown
The blood red sun has scorched the fields from here to Arkansas
And it's time to cut and run or face the long arm of the law

Let's ride out to the mountains
Kick in the cabin door
Tear ourselves to pieces
On a blanket on the floor

They tore down the lights smashed all the bells
Flooded the mines and poisoned the wells
If we stay here we've only got ourselves to blame
I wanna shed my skin forget my name
Crash like a fighter plane
Hold you close enough to break my bones and feel the pain
I wanna roar through the night like a runaway train

There's a wind that shakes the treetops and shakes the billboards too
It's blowing down the highway and it blows through me and you
I don't have to tell you what becomes of kids like us
We're young enough to run away we're old enough to rust

Let's ride out to the mountains
Kick in the cabin door
Tear ourselves to pieces
On a blanket on the floor

They tore down the lights smashed all the bells
Flooded the mines and poisoned the wells
If we stay here we've only got ourselves to blame
I wanna shed my skin forget my name
Crash like a fighter plane
Hold you close enough to break my bones and feel the pain
I wanna roar through the night like a runaway train
