The New Nathan Detroits Lyrics - Braid

nineteen ninety eight looked great on 

plain white paper on the fiftieth plane to champaign 

but to tell you the truth 

if i had a chance to kill it 

i'd pick it up and take it and shake it and 

kiss it to death 

there's something inside like a conscience 

that says "you're painting floors while 

your pals are renaming the stars 

get up get up and go do what you started 

if you want to be a martyr, try harder" 

go my son have you grown? 

go make a home 

and put the kids in their beds 

and i will talk about this year 

if there was something to talk about 

and you sell and you sell with your heart 

so you can make a few bucks and lose a few friends 

and this is the stuff that makes you 

and it will be the same that breaks you 

move on get on with your life 

it's pointless to play if you don't get paid 

why not go my son have you grown? 

go make a home 

and put the kids in their beds 

the kid's in our heads 

we've got a lot of great mistakes to make 

we've got a lot of chances to take 

so let's take our time and hurry 

go my son has come home 

i said no and made my own 

and put the kids in their beds 

the kid's in our heads 

we've got a lot of people to fear this year 

so addy if you want to be near 

sing will to the wind and worry 

oh addy do i love you 

but god such things i have to do 

addy do i want to hear you 

but i just can't get through 

addy do i miss you 

these dreams i sing when i 

kiss you 

oh addy do i love you 

but got such things i have to do 

ady do i want to hold you 

but anyone may do 

addy do i miss you 

these dreams i sing when i'm 

introducing the new nathan detroits.
