The Resurrectionists

In 1981 I was perfect for a month

But the truth is it's all been downhill since then

'Cause we did strange things to our bodies, and we forgot most of our studies

And got all muddled up between our means and our ends

Between forgiveness and permission

And we've got a crystal clear vision of what we cutely choose to call the good old days

But we've been scraping by our teeth through lives we didn't mean to lead

And I can barely tell you what I did yesterday

Is it a Wednesday today?

We're all just kids someone let loose into the world

Waiting for someone to explain the rules

We're motherfuckers and pharisees, and no longer all of a company

Despite our attempts to keep up that pretence

And we gave up on the cigarettes but we're still hooked on whimsical regrets

And wondering if, in hindsight, any of this makes any sense

And Justin left Southampton and got famous like I said

And Adam, he got married, and now he's happy down in Plumstead

And Jay's a dad and Tre's out back with Dave, and Tommy, who knows?

They say he disappeared like Harps and Zo

But then I saw him this one time in Mexico

We're all just kids someone let loose into the world

Waiting for someone to explain the rules

That's all

Trying to find us some kind of food in toyshops and gunsmiths

Searching for subjects, we are Resurrectionists

Searching for something that could bring us back to life

Searching for something that could bring us back to life

(Resurrectionists)

Searching for something that could bring us back to life

(Resurrectionists, resurrectionists)

Searching for something that could bring us back to life

(Resurrectionists)

We're all just kids let loose into the world

Waiting for someone to explain the rules

Unsupervised, unhappy and uncool

We're all just kids, and that's all
