Kids 1995

I watched the movie "Kids"

And then had a dream about you and me

Where things are different

You're holding a camera

And you're yelling "cut"

In that field of snow

There's no way to know

He died of old age

In the prime of his youth

Cue the lights on the stage

"What the hell happened?"

The credits role

Spoiled, Sebadoh

Who takes that second?

Or a minute?

To think or just forget it?

So when the time is right

You just have to take it with you

Jesus Christ, it's like time is naked

And you feel alright

I'm not feeling too good myself

And so you stumble home

Or back in the basement

And the rocks are cold

But so is the pavement

And it's up to you, but it's also up to you

I watch the needle jump

The engine makes the evening flow

As our morals slow

Absorbed into the sea

And down on the floor

The wines of youth don't stain no more

And even if I was solipsistic

Or even if I am solipsistic

Would it really make any difference?

Because as much as I tell myself it's all real

It's just as real as it really isn't

So when the time is right

You just have to take it with you

Jesus Christ, it's like time is naked

And you feel alright

I'm not feeling too good myself

And so you stumble home

Or back in the basement

And the rocks are cold

But so is the pavement

And it's up to you, but it's also up to you

Fearless youth and parents' truth

My exhaust is my own colossus

How did you get to this place?

How many hits can you take?

And I see the beads of sweat in your hair

And I see that it's always been a lake

So when the time is right

You just have to take it with you

Jesus Christ, it's like time is naked

And you feel alright

I'm not feeling too good myself

And so you stumble home

Or back in the basement

And the rocks are cold

But so is the pavement

And it's up to you, but it's also up to you
