Kids In America - Kim Wilde

Looking out a dirty old window, Down below the cars, In the city go rushing by, I sit here alone and I wonder why. Friday night and everyone's moving, I can feel the heat, But it's soothing, heading down, I search for the beat in this dirty town. Down town the young ones are going Down town the young ones are growing We're the kids in America (whoa-o) We're the kids in America (whoa-o) Everybody live for the music-go-round Bright lights, the music gets faster Look boy, don't check on your watch Not another glance I'm not leaving now, honey not a chance Hot-shot, give me no problems Much later baby you'll be saying never mind You know life is cruel, life is never kind Kind hearts don't make a new story Kind hearts don't grab any glory We're the kids in America (whoa-o) We're the kids in America (whoa-o) Everybody live for the music-go-round La-la-la-la-la-laa La-la-la-la-la-laa sing! La-la-la-la-la-laa La-la-la-la-la-laa Come closer, honey that's better Got to get a brand new experience Feeling right Oh don't try to stop me baby Hold me tight Outside a new day is dawning Outside Suburbia's sprawling everywhere I don't want to go New York to east California There's a new wave coming I warn you We're the kids in America (whoa-o) We're the kids in America (whoa-o) Everybody live for the music-go-round La-la-la-la-la-laa La-la-la-la-la-laa sing! La-la-la-la-la-laa La-la-la-la-la-laa We're the kids We're the kids We're the kids in America. We're the kids We're the kids We're the kids in America. We're the kids We're the kids We're the kids in America. We're the kids We're the kids We're the kids in America. We're the kids We're the kids We're the kids in America!

Well he was Thailand based She was an airforce wife He used to fly weekends It was the easy life But then it turned around And he began to change She didn't wonder then She didn't think it strange But then he got a call He had to leave that night He couldn't say too much But it would be alright He didn't need to pack They'd meet the next night He had a job to do Flying to Cambodia And as the nights passed by She tried to trace the past The way he used to look The way he used to laugh I guess she'll never know What got inside his soul She couldn't make it out Just couldn't take it all He had the saddest eyes The girl had ever seen He used to cry some nights As though he lived a dream And as she held him close He used to search her face As if she knew the truth Lost inside Cambodia But then a call came through They said he'd soon be home She had to pack a case And they would make a rendez-vous But now a year has passed And not a single word And all the love she knew Has disappeared out in the haze Cambodia, don't cry now, no tears now And now the years have passed With not a single word But there is only one thing left I know for sure She won't see his face again
