Hey, little kid
Did you wake up late one day and
You're not so young, but you're still dumb
And you're numb to your old glory but now it's gone

I fell in love, but it didn't catch your fall
Then I crashed, into a wall
Then I fell to pieces on the floor
Now you're sick to death

Bombs away, here goes nothing
The shouting's over
Hey X-Kid, bombs away
Here goes nothing
The shouting's over and out
Over and out again

I once was old enough
To know better, man I was too young to care
Many cares, probably would but
Hollywood is dead and gone

You fell in love but then you just fell apart
Like a kick in the head
You’re an X-Kid and you never even got started again

Bombs away, here goes nothing
The shouting's over
Hey X-Kid, bombs away
Here goes nothing
The shouting's over and out
Over and out

And you were such a young soul
And you got lost and out of control
You went over the edge of joking
And I have a broken heart

Hey, little kid
Did you wake up late one day and
You're not so young, but you're still dumb
You’re an X-Kid and you never even got started again

Bombs away, here goes nothing
The shouting's over
Hey X-Kid, bombs away
Here goes nothing
The shouting's over
Hey X-Kid, bombs away
Here goes nothing
The shouting's over
Hey X-Kid, bombs away
Here goes nothing
The shouting's over and out
Over and out
Over and over and out
