Lyrics for Song: Youth Without Youth
Lyrics for Album: Synthetica [2012]
Hangman, we played
Rubber soul with a razor blade
Behind the church, hiding place
It was a long joke till
The punchline came
Can you read my mind?
Read my mind
Follow along till the end of the song
Hangman, we played
Double Dutch with a hand grenade
Behind the church, hiding place
Apathetic to the devil's face
Wear the sheriff's badge
Put your toys away
They let us go, saying,
"Let us pray"
(Youth without youth)
(Youth without youth)
(Youth without youth)
Hangman, we played
Hide and Seek on the fire escape
Through the smoke we saw the flame
It was a long wait
Till the firetruck came
On the count of three
Jump with me
On the count of three
1...
2...
1, 2, 3
Go
(Youth without youth)
(Youth without youth)
Go, go, go, go
Go
(Youth without youth)
(Youth without youth)
Go, go, go, go
Hangman, we played
Blind Man's Bluff with the Ninth Brigade
Throw the brick through the windowpane
Double Dutch till they stop the game
Till the cops show up
Handcuffed, stunned
They let us go, but we lost one
Hangman, we played
Blind Man's Bluff till they stop the game
Youth without youth
Born without time
Youth without youth
Can you read my mind?
(Youth without youth)
(Youth without youth)
My-my-my mind
My-my-my mind
(Youth without youth)
(Youth without youth)
My-my-my mind
