Lyrics

Lippy kids on the corner again
Lippy kids on the corner begin
Settling like crows
Though I never perfected the simian stroll
The cigarette scent, it was everything then
Do they know those days are golden?
Build a rocket, boys
Build a rocket, boys
One long June
I came down from the trees
And curbstone cool
You were a freshly painted angel
Walkin' on walls
Stealing booze and hour-long hungry kisses
And nobody knew me at home anymore
Build a rocket, boys
Build a rocket, boys
Build a rocket, boys
Lippy kids on the corner again
Lippy kids on the corner begin
Settling like crows
And I never effected that simian stroll
No
Do they know those days are golden?
Build a rocket, boys
Build a rocket, boys
One long June
I came down from the trees
And curbstone cool
You were a freshly painted angel
Walkin' on walls
Stealing booze and hour-long hungry kisses
Nobody knows me at home anymore
Build a rocket, boys
Build a rocket, boys
Build a rocket, boys
