Alkaline Trio
Kick Rocks
[Verse 1]
You took these sticks and stones
And applied what you had learned
But you ain't got no water
So you let that motherfucker burn
Yeah, it smoked up and it burned out
Like a graduation bonfire, two miles from your house

[Verse 2]
And you had nowhere to go
So you came right back here
I couldn't find what you wanted
So you slapped me in the face and spilled my beer
And when the mess dried up, you came back singing

[Chorus]
Let us drink from the hourglass
We can make time stop
Watch from the window upstairs
While they all kick rocks
While they all kick rocks

[Verse 3]
And I miss smoking in the fall
And pissing on that gas station wall
What's a law?
What's a fire?
What's a river?
We jumped over them all
But I guess my legs got tired and my teeth got long
I guess my legs got tired and my teeth got long
[Chorus]
So take a sip from the hourglass
We can make time stop
Watch from the window upstairs
While they all kick rocks

[Bridge]
I tried to write you a passage
But you're holding out for the flick
Wait by the exit out back
When they don't let you in

[Chorus]
So we can drink from the hourglass
We can make time stop
And watch from the window upstairs
While they all kick rocks

[Outro]
Watch from the window upstairs
While they all kick rocks
While they all kick rocks
