Youth Without Youth

Hangman, we played rubber soul with a razor blade Behind the church, hiding place, It was a long joke 'til 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 Hangman, we played hide and seek on the fire escape Through the smoke we saw the flame It was a long wait 'til the firetruck came On the count of three Jump with me on the count of three One two one two three go! Hangman, we played blind man's bluff with the ninth brigade Throw the brick through the windowpane, Double dutch 'til they stop the game, 'Til the cops show up, hand cuff stunned They let us go but we lost one Hangman ,we played blind man's bluff 'til they stopped the game Youth without youth, born without time, Youth without youth, can you read my mind? --- Youth Without Youth - Metric
