Kids
Slow Celebration Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I let the Gods wanna take informations out of reach
with the dancing in the streets
dancing in the streets
I took a chance and I sat beneath to watch you all expand
who would have thought I could touch a smoke and keep it in my hand
is it sailing down again
Girl you need me
on an easy hi.
you see me
I don't even try
believe me
swimming through your veins
believe me
brother in the rain
It's gonna go through the tunnel
and the pipes we can't control
to make a . out of your body and my bones
we have swallowed it all
swallowed it all
