On the very first decade that we got to dream in
|
Our fathers were angry, our mother's were screamin'
|
At the clothes we were wearin' and the music we got off on
|
Hitler was dead, welcome to Babylon
|
|
Carved our initials out across the sand
|
The heart and the arrow, no-one understands
|
Then the tide rolled in and everything ran
|
And washed us away, washed us away, washed us away
|
|
Up in the attic ambition was burning
|
Now my fingers were bleedin' but the tables were turning
|
Down in the city the future was beckoning
|
And I hated myself on the day of reckoning
|
(Oh yeah)
|
Carved our initials on top of the cake
|
The heart and the arrow - the rattle and the snake
|
How was I to know that the Earth was gonna break
|
And wash us away, wash us away, wash us away
|
|
Everything's temporary in this world
|
Ain't it a shame when you lose someone
|
Here tomorrow, gone today
|
Wash us away, wash us away, wash us away
|
|
There was never a fool like a young fool alone in
|
A world without someone he can find a home in
|
And for all the wrong reasons we rescued each other
|
You bandaged my heart I never would recover
|
(ohhhh)
|
No river runs true, it always takes a twist
|
Hearts can be broken, arrows gonna miss
|
How was I to know that it was gonna come down to this
|
And wash us away
|
|
And we wrote our names on the Dead Sea Scrolls
|
The young and the restless, the brave and the bold
|
How was we to know it was gonna get outta control
|
And wash us away, wash us away, wash us away, wash us away, wash us away,wash us away, wash us away
|
