The Resurrectionists

In 1981 I was perfect for a month But the truth is it's all been downhill since then 'Cause we did strange things to our bodies and we forgot most of our studies And got all muddled up between our means and our ends Between forgiveness and permission and we've got a crystal clear vision Of what we cutely choose to call the good old days But we've been scraping by our teeth through lives we didn't mean to lead And I can barely tell you what I did yesterday, is it a Wednesday today? We're all just kids someone let loose into the world Waiting for someone to explain the rules We're motherfuckers and pharisees and no longer all of a company Despite our attempts to keep up that pretence And we gave up on the cigarettes but we're still hooked on whimsical regrets And wondering if, in hindsight, any of this makes any sense And Justin left Southampton and got famous like I said And Adam, he got married, and now he's happy down in Plumstead And Jay's a dad and Tre's out back with Dave and Tommy, who knows? They say he disappeared like Harps and Zo but I saw him this one time in Mexico We're all just kids someone let loose into the world Waiting for someone to explain the rules, that's all Trying to find us some kind of food in toyshops and gunsmiths Searching for subjects, we are Resurrectionists Searching for something that could bring us back to life Searching for something that could bring us back to life (Resurrectionists, resurrectionists) Searching for something that could bring us back to life (Resurrectionists, resurrectionists) Searching for something that could bring us back to life (Searching for something that could bring us back to life) We're all just kids let loose into the world (Searching for something that could bring us back to life) Waiting for someone to explain the rules (Searching for something that could bring us back to life) Unsupervised, unhappy and uncool (Searching for something that could bring us back to life) We're all just kids And that's all
