You close your eyes when we talk pretending to read the papers again the final buzz will shatter the chill and you’re starting to test my patience again
so stand up, fall down stand up again
stand up, no backing down stand up again
folded arms, take it outside we’re watching the clock go you line the walls, I’m going downtown there’ll be nothing they won’t know
You`ve been riding your luck for too long But fuck it you`re on one It was there and you couldn`t resist And it can never be undone
And the walls are caving in on you now They`re bringing the dogs in So your changing your story again, backing down from the weight that you know is approaching
One day this smile is going to crack we’ll count the signs on our way back all neatly packed onto a train we’ll have our way
See to it that the kids are alright Keep the dog and the kids are alright Alligator and the kids are alright Funeral and the kids are alright the kids are alright the kids are alright
The kids are alright and then they wake up Alligator and the kids are alright Funeral and the kids are alright Clap Your Hands and the kids are alright Born To Run and the kids are alright the kids are alright the kids are alright
