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
