Living like legends We're thrown back like a bone Caught by a dog we won't give it up No we won't give it up Coming up around the bend We try hard to mend The fences we beat down with our fists We beat them down with our fists You painted windows on the walls In that old house you could see it all You saw a sky inside And said this is home Lovers will leave us alone Once we have grown And there are no surprises anymore Our children will take the reins Once we grow old in our ways And stories are told Bought and sold You painted windows on the walls In that old house you could see it all You saw a sky inside And said this is home Coming up around the bend We try hard to mend The fences we beat down with our fists We beat them down with our fists
