Meet the Kid Songtext
von Mountain Time

Suspended from a trapeze wire
That China man with yellow flowers
That line the graves of everyone
Who always thought they′d get back up
Like something on a giant screen
Life flashes on and off
While girls in armor make it rain
On boys who talk so tough
And everyone's just standing here
Just waiting for a sign
And I want to be the kid who′s not
I want to be the kid
I want to be the kid who's not


A Christmas shopping mall like din
Just fills the air of old Berlin
Swears most of all through thick and thin
You'll never hear that angel choir sing
As sweet or low or thick with petty thieves
Who′ll stow away your soul
On the first ship passes by only going one
Way outside the scope of your compass rose
And everyone just stands so froze
With those gaping holes inside
And I want to be the kid who′s not
I want to be the kid
I want to be the kid who's not
Oh yeah and I want to meet the kid
I want to greet the kid
And just congratulate the kid who′s not

So come on by
You come on buy
You come on by
You come on buy
Yeah come on by
You come on buy
You come on by
You come on
You come on
You come on
