Lyrics
Child Of Another Time
He lives in a trailer home
With old rusty cars
On his front lawn
Empty tin cans
Hangin' from a tree
Blowin' scary melodies
In the wind
That's the place where everybody goes
To buy a few grams or just hang around
Getting wasted
But even though he's surrounded by
Twentyfive people he always looks so alone
And he once told me:
Seems like noone here really knows me
I am a child of another time
I'd welcome anyone to show me
What this modern life is all about
No internet
Not even a TV
Just a mobile phone to remind you
It's the 21 century
All his vinyls
Were made before 1983
It's like a candy shop
For a guy like me
So far away from reality
Ordinary people and the town police
Sayin "Hey Johnny, no mischief this weekend ok?"
And he just smiles right back at them
Behind his beard saying:
Hey, I'll make you coffe if you drop by sometime"
Seems like noone here really knows me
I am a child of another time
I'd welcome anyone to show me
What this modern life is all about
And we salute the ones that left us much too soon
In the summer, with a cheer and a smile
And I am feeling happy now for just being alive
For the first time in my life since I was really young
Seems like noone here really knows me
I am a child of another time
I'd welcome anyone to show me
What this modern life is all about
