From the recording The Remarkable Adventures Of
Lyrics
He was a boxcar child yeah he lived his life by the train
She was a prom queen till the wrong things lit her up
Leaving marks upon her veins
But the time that they met they were ready to admit
That the past was a madman's dream
A madman's dream
He was a little tough to love with a hardened heart of gold
And she found strength
In remembering the pain of the time that she lost control
And as the fire dimmed
They began to comprehend that the world was theirs to mold
Theirs to mold
And he said, "This feels like a dream I had long ago"
She turns to him and says "I know"
Reaching heights they were told they'd never know
Got all the wrong breaks but all the right kind of soul
They made friends with their demons long ago
Living an American Dream of their own
They were Fox and Bones
Pretty soon they had their money
Disappeared without a trace
Just like glitter and honey
Got hearts that can never be tamed
And from the rooftop of the new spot that they hit
They look back on these days
With a fondness that you don't get
When you miss all the trouble and pain
And she says, "This feels like a dream i had long ago"
He turns to her and smiles and says, "I know"
Reaching heights they were told they'd never know
Got all the wrong breaks but all the right kind of soul
They made friends with their demons long ago
Living an American Dream of their own
They were Fox and Bones
He was a boxcar child yeah he lived his life by the train
