Skip the Youth
Frightened Rabbit

And I've been digging that hole tonight
On my knees beneath the moon
All I need is a place to lie
Guess a grave will have to do
Won't you give me two minutes please
Just let me cover my eyes
All the hammer and scrape
Has been chipping away
At the lustre of life

So I will but I am so tired
If I can shake myself
I can dance with you

Though my body is far from old
I'm bound to useless youth
And I can't fake a fist to throw
Through the crust of the earth
If you find me don't wake me
I can't be shaken awake
If you don't stare at the dark
You can never feel bleak
Life starts to lose its taste

So I will but I am so tired
If I can shake myself
I can dance with you

I hear drums
The worn out beat of a tired heart
You are young
If this is the prime of life
I wish I could skip the blasted youth

Skip the youth
It's aging me too much
