Lyrics

One, two, three Dream killer Don't be naive There's a darkness deep in the stream Smile and wave as it floats on by Or dive on in and enjoy the ride There's a stranger at my door (Knocking) Toy soldier coming home from war Now I adore (darkness) And out of darkness I was born (I was born) So bittersweet (I was born) This grim generation (ooh-ooh-ooh) Got a hold on me (ah-ah-ah-ah) This grim generation (ooh-ooh-ooh) Got a hold on me Television's on Paint it black See the bobber going down Baby, reel it in Got a monkey on my back But I'm cool with that We're right back where we started Daddy's coming back, let's get started (hey) There's a stranger at my door (Knocking) Toy soldier coming home from war Now I adore (darkness) Like it's all never been done before At my door (knocking) Like it's all never been done before At my door (knocking) I was born (I was born) So bittersweet (so bittersweet) This grim generation (ooh-ooh-ooh) Got a hold on me (ah-ah-ah-ah) This grim Generation (ooh-ooh-ooh) I was born (I was born) So bittersweet (I was born) This grim generation (ooh-ooh-ooh) Got a hold on me (ah-ah-ah-ah) This grim generation (ooh-ooh-ooh) Gotta let it be I was born, I came to be I was born, I came to be I was born, I came to be I came to be I was born So bittersweet This grim generation Got a hold on me It's got a hold on me
