You need to get out of this house.
|
||
|
I'll walk you down to town.
|
||
|
We'll go act our age, kick rocks, waste summer days.
|
||
|
Penny candy at the general store,
|
||
|
I'd buy us a pop if I had more.
|
||
|
Keep walking inland all day,
|
||
|
Spitting and cursing each others name.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Ain't this what, ain't this what brothers are supposed to do?"
|
||
|
The blood between us, makes it all but true.
|
||
|
|
||
|
So we roll on through
|
||
|
Out past the quarries and sandpits too.
|
||
|
Swim out among the rocks and cliffs,
|
||
|
Ignorant youth keeps us from death.
|
||
|
Find our way out to the tracks.
|
||
|
The sun, it beats down on our backs.
|
||
|
Heaven help us if there's a train,
|
||
|
Dodge it like the beaches of Normandy.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Ain't this what, ain't this what brothers are supposed to do?"
|
||
|
The blood between us, makes it all but true.
|
||
|
|
||
|
We saw that smoke rising over trees
|
||
|
And I swore, I swore, I swore,
|
||
|
That train was out for me.
|
||
|
So I held him tight and felt those tracks rumble underneath.
|
||
|
He swore, he swore if I didn't let go he would knock me off my feet,
|
||
|
And that's what he did.
