Only Children

Walking around at night
 Fighting my appetite
 Every kid in cut-offs could be you
 Remember when we used to meet
 At the bottom of Mobile Street?
 And do what the broken people do
 Are you still taking notes?
 The Holy Ghost could get inside you
 You'd do whatever you put your mind to
 Will you read me what you wrote?
 When we were locked outside the building
 Over-encouraged only children
 Cold coffee on the fire escape
 We bet it all on a demo tape
 And we still had something left to steal
 ♪
 Remember when we took too much?
 To get a little of the human touch
 Hand to mouth and reel to reel
 And are you still taking notes?
 
 Hydrocodone in your backpack
 Maybe these words will hold the beast back
 And will you read me what you wrote?
 The one I said you stole from Dylan
 Over-encouraged only children
 ♪
 "Heaven's wasted on the dead"
 That's what your mama said
 When the hearse was idling in the parking lot
 She said you thought the world of me
 And you were glad to see
 They finally let me be an astronaut
 ♪
 Are you still taking notes?
 Will you have anyone to talk to?
 Castle walls that you could walk through
 And do the dead believe in ghosts?
 Or are you lost in some old building
 With over-encouraged only children
