Dawn Landes - Kids In A Play Lyrics

We are like kids in a play

Set in the Victorian age

We only know what to say

Because we practiced at home

Or rehearsed on the bus

Next to kids just like us

Who couldn't help but think we were weird



And you would open your mouth and it would kill me

Just start to speak of the South, like I had been there

And you would forgive yourself as you map my words

I think it's your turn to leave and throw a fit

And I will mumble and grieve and then sigh

Brings the crowd to their feet and almost makes you cry



What if no one comes

What if we get bored

Will you fit my clothes

If we should switch roles

Here we go



We’re like kids in a play

Set in the Victorian age

We only know what to say

Because we practiced at home

Or we rehearsed on the bus

Next to kids just like us

Who couldn't help but think, they couldn’t help it

They couldn’t help it (x3)
