Lyrics Barns Courtney – The Kids Are Alright

You know the kids are alright
You know the kids are alright
I got the taste on my tongue
And air in my lungs

Oh darling, oh darling I’m skippin’ school
Hidin’ from your mama but you ain’t no fool
Sailin’ through your classes like an ocean cruise, oh yeah

Oh heaven, oh heaven where did you go?
Dancing to the rhythm of the radio
Signal’s getting weaker as I’m getting old, oh yeah

You know the kids are alright
You know the kids are alright
I got the taste on my tongue
And air in my lungs
The kids are alright

You’re my little Hepburn, yeah we can dream
Shining out the memories for the silver screen
Scattering around me like a colour scheme, oh yeah

Oh mama, oh mama I’m up all night
Sweating, yeah I’m climbing up the fahrenheits
Coasting through the city like a satellite, oh yeah

You know the kids are alright
You know the kids are alright
I got the taste on my tongue
And air in my lungs
The kids are alright

Oh horror, oh horror what did you see?
Monsters in the closet and they just won’t leave
Clogging up your arteries with memories, oh yeah

The skeleton living inside your head
Rattling and gasping, coming up for breath
Maybe in your memory I’m still not dead, oh yeah

You know the kids are alright
You know the kids are alright
I got the taste on my tongue
And air in my lungs
The kids are alright
