[Intro]
Fang flash
Leather coat drag
“Never grow up”
On a blood-red flag (yeah)
[Verse 1]
Boardwalk smoke
Sand kicks, cold coast wind
Lost kids laughing
Halo of cheap gin
“Come ride with us”
Chrome bikes, pale eyes
One taste of the night
Goodbye, sunrise
Posters peeling
Ferris wheel creaks slow
Mom thinks “fresh start”
Town already knows
[Chorus]
We the lost boys, hanging from the rail
Upside down, we don’t ever fail
Thou shalt not fall, that’s the first command
Once you taste dusk, you don’t touch land
We the lost boys, fangs in the glow
Smile too wide at the front row
Thou shalt not fall, carve it in stone
Sleep in the caves where the waves all moan (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Flick of a lighter
Bottle passed round
Steam over rice
You don’t ask how
Laugh at the clouds
While your feet leave ground
Blood in the pupils
Can’t hear the crowd
Brother looks strange
Shades in the house
Dog starts barking
Truth in the growl
Kids in the attic
Cross made of toys
Comic book gospel
Hunting these boys
[Breakdown]
[Beat drops to just bass, breath and snaps]
Fangs out
No reflection
New addiction
New direction
Hear that whisper
“Join the clan”
You’re not falling
You just ran
From the daylight
From your name
From your heartbeat
From the same
Now you’re hanging
Stone-cold grin
Every new kid
You pull them in (pull them in)
[Chorus]
We the lost boys, hanging from the rail
Upside down, we don’t ever fail
Thou shalt not fall, that’s the first command
Once you taste dusk, you don’t touch land
We the lost boys, choir of the damned
Laugh in the wind while the world gets slammed
Thou shalt not fall, but if you do
Pray that the stake never finds its way through (yeah)
