- Kid A LyricsI slip away
I slipped on a little white lie
We've got heads on sticks
You've got ventriloquists
We've got heads on sticks
You've got ventriloquists
Standing in the shadows at the end of my bed
Standing in the shadows at the end of my bed
Standing in the shadows at the end of my bed
Standing in the shadows at the end of my bed
The rats and children will follow me out of town
The rats and children follow me out of their homes
Come on kids
I slipped on a little white lie
We've got heads on sticks
You've got ventriloquists
We've got heads on sticks
You've got ventriloquists
Standing in the shadows at the end of my bed
Standing in the shadows at the end of my bed
Standing in the shadows at the end of my bed
The rats and children will follow me out of town
The rats and children follow me out of their homes
Come on kids

Kid a lyrics most strongly highlight isolation, anguish, despair, introspection and social critique. Besides, the song underlines the contradictions between lies and truth, separation and fear, and also between fleeing and being free.
