Kick Rocks lyrics
by Alkaline Trio
[Verse 1]
You took these sticks and stones
And applied what you had learned
But you ain't got no water
So you let that motherf*cker burn
Yeah, it smoked up and it burned out
Like a graduation bonfire, two miles from your house
[Verse 2]
And you had nowhere to go
So you came right back here
I couldn't find what you wanted
So you slapped me in the face and spilled my beer
And when the mess dried up, you came back singing
[Chorus]
Let us drink from the hourglass
We can make time stop
Watch from the window upstairs
While they all kick rocks
While they all kick rocks
[Verse 3]
And I miss smoking in the fall
And p*ssing on that gas station wall
What's a law?
What's a fire?
What's a river?
We jumped over them all
But I guess my legs got tired and my teeth got long
I guess my legs got tired and my teeth got long
[Chorus]
So take a sip from the hourglass
We can make time stop
Watch from the window upstairs
While they all kick rocks
[Bridge]
I tried to write you a passage
But you're holding out for the flick
Wait by the exit out back
When they don't let you in
[Chorus]
So we can drink from the hourglass
We can make time stop
And watch from the window upstairs
While they all kick rocks
[Outro]
Watch from the window upstairs
While they all kick rocks
While they all kick rocks
