Meet the Kid

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
