ALKALINE TRIO - Kick Rocks lyrics

rate me

<br>

You take these sticks and stones<br />

and apply what you have learned<br />

but you ain't got no water<br />

so you let that motherfucker burn<br />

<br />

Yea it smoked up and it burned out<br />

Like a graduation bonfire two miles from your house<br />

and you had nowhere to go, so you came right back here<br />

I couldn't find what you wanted, so you slapped me in the face and spilled my beer<br />

<br />

and when the mess dried up you came up singing,<br />

<br />

Let us drink from the hourglass<br />

We can make time stop<br />

Watch from the window upstairs<br />

While they all kick rocks<br />

<br />

and I miss smoking in the fall<br />

and pissin' on that gas station wall<br />

What's a law? What's a fire? What's a river?<br />

We jumped over them all<br />

<br />

but I guess my legs got tired and my teeth got long<br />

<br />

So take a sip from the hourglass<br />

We can make time stop<br />

Watch from the window upstairs<br />

While they all kick rocks<br />

<br />

I tried to write you a passage<br />

but you're holdin' out for the flick<br />

Wait outside by the exit<br />

When they don't let you in<br />

<br />

So we can drink from the hourglass<br />

We can make time stop<br />

Watch from the window upstairs<br />

While they all kick rocks

<br><br><br><br>
