The Kings of Salem Road (Remix) Lyrics

I remember you when we were kids

You decided everything we did

You had just your mother and I wished I was your brother

And no one ever questioned what we did

Lived across the street from me and Dad

Bleached out mobile homes and photographs

You had all the toys and I never made a noise

And no one ever asked where we were at

We were the boy kings of Salem Road

Holding court upon a porch of weathered two by fours

We were the boy kings of Salem Road

The kingdom fades to black, in a

Prologue of boy who's looking back

Sixties SciFi on the TV screen

The white noise filled the room in flickering

Nights we stayed up talking while our innocence went walking

And no one ever said what it would mean

We were the boy kings of Salem Road

Holding court upon a porch of weathered two by fours

We were the boy kings of Salem Road

The kingdom fades to black, in a

Prologue of boy who's looking back

And we both graduated into fields that were ill-fated

And your early discharge seemed to set a stage

I went to the West Coast

And you became my best ghost

To slip away and disappear in flames

We were the boy kings of Salem Road

We were the boy kings of Salem Road

We were the boy kings of Salem Road

And a kingdom fades to black

In a prologue of boy who's looking back
