the kids are alright

you know the kids are alright

you know the kids are alright

i got the taste on my tongue

and air in my lungs

the kids are alright

oh darling

oh darling i'm skippin' school

hidin' from your mama but you ain't no fool

sailin' through your classes like an ocean cruise

oh yeah

oh heaven

oh heaven where did you go?

dancing to the rhythm of the radio

signal's getting weaker as i'm getting old

oh yeah

you know the kids are alright

you know the kids are alright

i got the taste on my tongue

and air in my lungs

the kids are alright

you're my little heaven

yeah we can dream

shining out the memories for the silver screen

scattering around me like a colour scheme

oh yeah

oh mama

oh mama i'm up all night

sweating

yeah i'm climbing up the fahrenheits

coasting through the city like a satellite

oh yeah

you know the kids are alright

you know the kids are alright

i got the taste on my tongue

and air in my lungs

the kids are alright

oh horror

oh horror what did you see?

monsters in the closet and they just won't leave

clogging up your arteries with memories

oh yeah

the skeleton living inside your head

rattling and gasping

coming up for breath

maybe in your memory i'm still not dead

oh yeah

you know the kids are alright

you know the kids are alright

i got the taste on my tongue

and air in my lungs

the kids are alright
