X-Kid Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey, little kid, did you wake up late one day?
And you're not so young, but you're still dumb
And you're numb to your old glory, but now it's gone

[Pre-Chorus]
I fell in love, but it didn't catch your fall
And then I crashed into a wall
And then I fell to pieces on the floor
Now you're sick to death

[Chorus]
Bombs away (Bombs away)
Here goes nothin', the shouting's over
Hey, X-Kid, bombs away
Here goes nothin', the shouting's over and out
Over and out again

[Verse 2]
I once was old enough to know better
Then I was too young to care, but who cares?
I probably would, but Hollywood is dead and gone

[Pre-Chorus]
You fell in love, but then you just fell apart
Like a kick in the head
You're an X-Kid, and you never even got started again

[Chorus]
Bombs away (Bombs away)
Here goes nothin', the shouting's over
Hey, X-Kid, bombs away
Here goes nothin', the shouting's over and out
Over and out

[Bridge]
And you were searching your soul
And you got lost and outta control
You went over the edge of joking
And died of a broken heart

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Hey, little kid, did you wake up late one day?
And you're not so young, but you're still dumb
You're an X-kid, and you never even got started again

[Chorus]
Bombs away (Bombs away)
Here goes nothin', the shouting's over
Hey, X-Kid, bombs away
Here goes nothin', the shouting's over
Hey, X-Kid, bombs away
Here goes nothin', the shouting's over
Hey, X-Kid, bombs away
Here goes nothin', the shouting's over and out
Over and out
Over and over and out
