Youth Without Youth

Metric - Youth Without Youth

Hangman, we played rubber soul with a razor blade

Behind the church hiding place,

It was a long joke till the punch line came

Can you read my mind? Read my mind

Follow along to 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 x4

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

One... two... one... two... three... Go!

Youth without youth x2

Go, go, go, go

Hangman, we played blind man''s bluff with the 9th brigade

Throw the brick through the window pane,

Double dutch till they stop the game,

Till the cops show up, hand cuff stunned

They let us go but we lost one!

Hangman, we played blind man''s bluff till they stopped the game

Youth without youth born without time,

Youth without youth, can you read my mind?

Youth without youth x2

Mind, mind, mind, mind
