Kids in '99 - Death Cab For Cutie

Been thinkin' 'bout those kids

Been thinkin' 'bout those kids back in '99

The gas leakin' in the creek

A fire cracker then a spark

In a moment they were

Gone gone

Gone gone

A house shaken by the blast

Black smoke filled the wind of the landscape

The sirens crying through the streets

Choppers hovering like vultures above a meal

Gone gone

Gone gone

Gone gone

Gone gone

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

Been thinkin' 'bout those kids

Been thinkin' 'bout those kids back in '99

Wonder who they were then

Not a spark then a flash

In a moment they were

Gone gone

Gone gone

Gone gone

Gone gone

Gone gone

Gone gone
