You sit there in your, heartache
Waitin' on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness, watch it now, here he comes
He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But he, talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined when you, were young
Can we climb this mountain, I don't know
Higher now than ever before
I, know we can make it if we take it slow
Let's take it easy, easy now, watch it go
We're burnin' down the highway skyline
On the back of a hurricane, that started turnin'
When you, were young
When you, were young
And sometimes you close your eyes
And see the place where you used to live
When you, were young
They say the Devil's water, it ain't so sweet
You don't have to drink right now
But you can dip your feet
Every once in a, little while
Woo!
(Send me)
(Oh)
You sit there in your, heartache
Waitin' on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness, watch it now, here he come
He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But he, talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined when you, were young (''Talks like a gentleman'')
(''Like you imagined when'') When you, were young
I said he doesn't look a thing like Jesus
He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But more than you'll ever know
Waitin' on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness, watch it now, here he comes
He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But he, talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined when you, were young
Can we climb this mountain, I don't know
Higher now than ever before
I, know we can make it if we take it slow
Let's take it easy, easy now, watch it go
We're burnin' down the highway skyline
On the back of a hurricane, that started turnin'

When you, were young
And sometimes you close your eyes
And see the place where you used to live
When you, were young

I was 16 when this album came out. I'm more than a double that age now, and I back then I couldn't have even imagined having a job, wife, and a child, but here I am. Good times were had in the 00's, now not so much, but we're optimistic about the future, each decade has its ups and downs! 
Killers are cool, I'd love to hear this album on RP, I listened to it first on a KLM flight to Tokyo, had to buy it, it is their best.
