Lyrics They Didn't See It Coming - Kele

They Didn't See It Coming

On the fourth night I make the call
It’s time to venture out
I take my skateboard and my flick knife
I’m prepared for what I’ll find
I’m ready
Nighttime do your worst
The city streets are deserted
Police cars are all burnt out
There’s not a single cloud in the sky
And I’m blinded by the stars
Every step is moving on, I’m leaving it behind
The world has turned and so must I
So here’s to never growing old just like a rolling stone
They never saw it coming
They never stood a chance
I follow the river to parliment square
Past the ransack cathedral
The pale lights of the street light dance
And broken glass of the store
I’m ready
But when I arrive it’s the queerest thing
A leash of foxes are holding cord
They look at me but do not move
For this is their space now
Every step is moving on, I’m leaving it behind
The world has turned and so must I
So here’s to never growing old just like a rolling stone
They never saw it coming
They never stood a chance
So here’s to never growing old
(Off the step, off the step, off the step, off the step)
So here’s to never growing old
So here’s to never growing old
(Off the step, off the step, off the step, off the step)
So here’s to never growing old
We never saw it coming
We didn’t stand a chance
