lyrics

Katie had a hold of summer till she let it get away
One bad choice was all it took to silence
Shot point blank with life and bleeding time after the violence
Something's had a hold of Katie since that day
Out there fighting cowboys at the age of seventeen
Pushing round a three-year-old
Who's stifling whose dreams
Katies fell right through the cracks and disappeared it seems
Something's had a hold of Katie
Something's had a hold of Katie since that day
Something's had a hold of Katie
Katie just let summer slip away
You're in a different sort of playground
Where mistakes will make you sweat
If you're playing here you have to watch the score
Boys outside the schoolyard they're not doing what they're told
Detention for this crime it runs forever
Sold a lie, stole your life
Sold a lie, they stole your life
Letterbox amusements soaked in petrol set alight
Kicking things along the curb in silence
Random acts of violence aimed at everything in sight
Pick a side and colour your alliance
Katie had a hold of summer till she let it get away
One bad choice was all it took to silence
Shot point blank with life and bleeding time after the violence
Something's had a hold of Katie since that day
Something's had a hold of Katie
Something's had a hold of Katie since that day
Something's had a hold of Katie
Katie just let summer slip away
Shot point blank
Katie just let summer slip away
Sold a lie, stole they stole your life
Katie just let summer slip away
