lyrics
Skiing in the land of make believe
The ice and snow melts beneath your feet
Extracting gold from your mother's teeth
With no soul to trade, you always need to cheat
A father’s legacy set in stone
You will make such a beautiful ruin
Selling everything to save your face
You’ve gotta break some lives if you want to win the race
What makes you tick?
What makes you sick?
Hollowed out behind the mask
A headlong rush into the past
Keep running or you’ll lose your place
Look out for number one
In my heart I know that it’s a sin
To wish ill will on any living thing
But you make it so hard for me to be a saint
I can’t wait to see you burning at the stake
What lies inside?
What might we find?
Keep on flying through the fog
Keep on denying who you are
Keep running or we’ll take you down
Look out for number one
The ice and snow melts beneath your feet
Extracting gold from your mother's teeth
With no soul to trade, you always need to cheat
A father’s legacy set in stone
You will make such a beautiful ruin
Selling everything to save your face
You’ve gotta break some lives if you want to win the race
What makes you tick?
What makes you sick?
Hollowed out behind the mask
A headlong rush into the past
Keep running or you’ll lose your place
Look out for number one
In my heart I know that it’s a sin
To wish ill will on any living thing
But you make it so hard for me to be a saint
I can’t wait to see you burning at the stake
What lies inside?
What might we find?
Keep on flying through the fog
Keep on denying who you are
Keep running or we’ll take you down
Look out for number one

Excited for this. Pkids are one of the most consistently exceptional bands I've experienced in the last 30 years. Exceptional humans on top of that, exemplars of the DIY ethos and true indie spirit. Long Live Poster Children!
