Dead End Kids Lyrics by Joe Purdy

Last Clock on the Wall

0

Set 'em up for the dead end kids
The young and the restless, the kin
And all of the houses that they grew up in
Are now gone
She used to know me by name
Like a child she would dance in the rain
But now she just drinks cocaine because she can
And I never thought I'd see the day
When all of the paintings went gray
Like the flowers that lay on the graves
Of the ones who die young
Shed a tear for the ones who would hope
To hang you with the shortest of rope
Just as quick as they judge, they go to find the next
See these breaks in the stones when they crack
Reminds you of all that you lack
And your best friends will just turn their backs
Because they can
And I never thought I'd see the day
When all of the paintings went gray
Like the flowers that lay on the graves
Of the ones who die young
Say a prayer for the ones like you
Who are simple and honest and true
When we spoke last night well you knew
But you never showed
And I know you ain't one to complain
If you keep it hid, it would drive you insane
It's just so hard when there's no one to blame
For the fall
Yeah, and wishing can't make it so;
If it could well I hope that you know
I would run through the fire and snow
To bring you back
And I never thought I'd see the day
When all of the paintings went gray
Like the flowers that lay on the graves
Of the ones who die young
