Death Cab For Cutie - Kids In '99 lyrics

[Verse 1] Thinkin' 'bout those kids Thinkin' 'bout those kids back in '99 Gas leakin' in the creek A firecracker then a spark In a moment they were [Refrain] Gone, gone Gone, gone [Verse 2] House shaken by the blast Black smoke filled the wind of the landscape Sirens crying through the streets Choppers hovering like vultures above a meal [Refrain] Gone, gone Gone, gone Gone, gone Gone, gone [Bridge] In the waters where we used to swim Where we thought we would be young forever But beads that glisten on your sunburnt skin Evaporated in the flames and embers [Verse 3] Thinkin' 'bout those kids Thinkin' 'bout those kids back in '99 Wonder who they were then Not a spark then a flash In a moment they were [Refrain] Gone, gone Gone, gone Gone, gone Gone, gone Gone, gone Gone, gone
