Youth Without Youth Songtext
von Metric

Hangman, we played
Rubber Soul with a razor blade
Behind the church, hiding place
It was a long joke ′til the punchline came
Can you read my mind, read my mind?
Follow along to the end of the song

Hangman, we played
Double Dutch with a hand grenade
Behind the church, hiding place
Apathetic to the Devil's face
Wear the sheriff′s badge, put your toys away
They let us go, saying, "Let us pray" (youth without youth)

Youth without youth

Youth without youth
Youth without youth


Hangman, we played
Hide and seek on the fire escape
Through the smoke, we saw the flame
It was a long wait 'til the firetruck came
On the count of three, jump with me
On the count of three
One, two
One, two, three

Go (youth without youth)
Youth without youth
Go, go, go, go

Go (youth without youth)
Youth without youth
Go, go, go, go

Hangman, we played
Blind man's bluff with the 9th Brigade
Throw the brick through the windowpane
Double Dutch ′til they stop the game
′Til the cops show up, handcuff stunned
They let us go, but we lost one

Hangman, we played
Blind man's bluff ′til they stopped the game
Youth without youth, born without time
Youth without youth, can you read my mind? (Youth without youth)


Youth without youth
Oh, my, my mind
My, my, my mind (youth without youth)
Youth without youth
Oh, my, my mind
