lyrics

WHEN WE WERE KIDS WE WERE A BAND

when we were kids
we wrote a glam rock ballad
it had all the elements ya need
platform shoes
+ weird hair do's
+ make up we stole from our sisters
+ my mom

we played guitar
in front of the mirror
got stoned + stayed up late
screamed diamond dogs
all covered with glitter
+ i promise you, i promise you
we were awesome...awesome

poses + rock n roll prayers
power chords
+ black light stares
from ziggy
+ iggy
+ freddy

the words were crude + tough
they meant the world
to both of us
+ i promise you, i promise you
they were awesome...awesome

back then we knew
it takes only 2
to have a band
to be a band
we were a band

when we were kids....
we were a band
