- Lippy Kids Lyrics / with translations(Whistle)
Lippy kids on the corner again
Lippy kids on the corner begin settling like crows
And I never perfected that simian stroll
But 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 cursed on cue
You were freshly painted angel walking on walls
Stealing booze and outlawing hungry kisses
Nobody knew me at home anymore
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
(Whistle)
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 cursed on cue
You were freshly painted angel walking on walls
Stealing booze and outlawing hungry kisses
And nobody knows me at home anymore
Build a rocket boys!
Build a rocket boys!
(Whistle)
Lippy kids on the corner again
Lippy kids on the corner begin settling like crows
And I never perfected that simian stroll
But 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 cursed on cue
You were freshly painted angel walking on walls
Stealing booze and outlawing hungry kisses
Nobody knew me at home anymore
Build a rocket boys!
Build a rocket boys!
Lippy kids on the corner begin settling like crows
And I never effected that simian stroll, no
(Whistle)
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 cursed on cue
You were freshly painted angel walking on walls
Stealing booze and outlawing hungry kisses
And nobody knows me at home anymore
Build a rocket boys!
Build a rocket boys!
(Whistle)
