Dark Thoughts (2010)

SKA meets GRR. Lyrics by Alex Pirolo:

Chasing cops and robbers
playing hide and seek with strangers
never understood the dangers till i fell asleep and died
saw angels, demons everything
couldn't quite believe my dreams, So I
Picked up my silly sting and played chicken with god
 
Freaked out girls with slimy frogs
eating worms and chasing dogs
big wheels crashing into walls
and I fall
 
Never Thought i'd grow up, here I am
Barely learned just how to stand
When a trolley named desire caught fire and took me for a ride
To the edge of time barely understanding why
Faster down the highway we go until i'm turning
Twenty five, twenty five
 
Always wanted to grow up fast
Until the day i got my chance
Left here sitting on my ass with two left feet to dance
Always remember what my mama said
tucking me in each night in bed
keep your youth why you can
cause it sucks to be a man
 
cowboys, sheriffs and Indians
Playing war games with my friends
Never thought these times would end
And I fall
 
Never Thought i'd grow up, here I am
Barely learned just how to stand
When a trolley named desire caught fire and took me for a ride
To the edge of time barely understanding why
Faster down the highway we go until i'm turning
Twenty five, twenty five
 
Said I'm feeling old
but until the day I go cold
I'll stay young at heart
 
Never Thought i'd grow up, here I am
Barely learned just how to stand
When a trolley named desire caught fire and took me for a ride
To the edge of time barely understanding why
Faster down the road I go
Never thought id grow up here I am
Barely learned just how to stand
Faster down we go until I'm turning
Twenty five, twenty five
