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
