So they started a band together. They enjoyed it and played it more. Everyone got along well! It was fantastic! And so was the music! Then BOOM! They made an EP. And now they are still doing it like they do. Get your dance shoes. The ride has started.

These Kids have been very busy lately! They have a new member of the band named Joshua Mcdaniel. These Kids call him Gypsy Josh, not to be confused with Josh Mitchinson. After filming with Much Music for DisBAND, they will be recording another EP in Dallas Texas with manager Jonathan Cook of Forever the Sickest Kids. Following recording These Kids Wear Crowns plan to have one more tour in Canada during the summer, then will be touring with Forever the Sickest Kids in the United States! About that blowing up in the face of music....Get ready world here comes THESE KIDS! :)

Skeletons
These Kids Wear Crowns Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We have to do this and do that to get our bodies moving with one kiss we fall flat and do it over again we-we make something from nothing we take a little blame we learn our lessons the hard way we love to play a game

Woah woah we can feel our hearts beating woah oh oh we can let it out woah woah we can feel our hearts beating woah woah c'mon and let it out

Cuz were all just skeletons our bones will never break we know to take things slow we wont be home tonight no we wont be home tonight we got a place to go

Well keep our heads up and lay low to stay above the water with to drops we leaned over at least we got each other you remind me of bonnie you know that im your clyde don't need a rhyme of a reason dont need a place to hide

Woah woah we can feel our hearts beating woah woah we can let it out woah woah we can feel our hearts beating woah woah c'mon and let it out

Cuz were all just skeletons our bones will never break we know to take things slow we wont be home tonight no we wont be home tonight we got a aplace to go

From the bottom of our hearts to the top of our lungs what we say is wat we mean and were tied at the tounge we play with guns cuz were not afraid to shoot our mouths off

[x2]

Were not afraid

Cuz were all just skeletons our bones will never break break break break

Cuz were all just skeletons our bones will never break we know to take things slow we wont be home tonight no we wont be home tonight we got a place to go

Goooooo [x4]
No we wont be home tonight we gotta place to go
