Smokestack
I didn't know him like that
No, I never knew him like that
I saw him once on a basement floor, shuddered and closed the door
We didn't know him like that
No, we never knew him like that
It's a lie we tell ourselves to think we played no part in it
Now I just have these images of times when we were young
I heard you smokestack cavalier
I thought you'd lost your mind
But it was just your way of living fast and curious all the time
Ran round a van in wintertime
You and I left behind
It was awkward then, but the first time that I saw you as a friend
Now I just have these images of times when we were young
The others in the same boat too
Don't believe a word they tell you
They look you in the eyes and say "this thing ain't goin down"
Turn your back, they're drilling holes
I just have these images of times when we were young
No, I never knew him like that
I saw him once on a basement floor, shuddered and closed the door
We didn't know him like that
No, we never knew him like that
It's a lie we tell ourselves to think we played no part in it
Now I just have these images of times when we were young
I heard you smokestack cavalier
I thought you'd lost your mind
But it was just your way of living fast and curious all the time
Ran round a van in wintertime
You and I left behind
It was awkward then, but the first time that I saw you as a friend
Now I just have these images of times when we were young
The others in the same boat too
Don't believe a word they tell you
They look you in the eyes and say "this thing ain't goin down"
Turn your back, they're drilling holes
I just have these images of times when we were young
