Living like legends
We're thrown back like a bone
Caught by a dog we won't give it up
No we won't give it up
Coming up around the bend
We try hard to mend
The fences we beat down with our fists
We beat them down with our fists
You painted windows on the walls
In that old house you could see it all
You saw a sky inside
And said this is home
Lovers will leave us alone
Once we have grown
And there are no surprises anymore
Our children will take the reins
Once we grow old in our ways
And stories are told
Bought and sold
You painted windows on the walls
In that old house you could see it all
You saw a sky inside
And said this is home
Coming up around the bend
We try hard to mend
The fences we beat down with our fists
We beat them down with our fists
