Kids In '99 lyrics - Death Cab For Cutie

 I'm thinkin' 'bout those kids

I'm thinkin' 'bout those kids

Back in '99

The gas leakin' in the creek

A firecracker then a spark

And in a moment they were

Gone, gone

Gone, gone

Our house was shaken by the blast

Black smoke billowing off the landscape

Sirens crying through the streets

With choppers hovering like vultures above a meal

Gone, gone

Gone, gone

Gone, gone

Gone, gone

In the waters where we used to swim

Where we thought we would be young forever

The beads that glistened on your sunburnt skin

Evaporated in the flames and embers

I'm thinkin' 'bout those kids

I'm thinkin' 'bout those kids

Back in '99

And wonder who they woulda been

For not a spark and a flash and the moment they were

Gone, gone

Gone, gone

Gone, gone

Gone, gone

Gone, gone

Gone, gone
