lyrics

So the story goes he packed his clothes
And took the next train out
He said that he couldn't take it any more
So he grabbed his things and took the railway south

All his little life he'd been told he was doing wrong
It felt to him like Alex versus The Bomb

When we were young we always thought
That we would turn out to be invincible
but as we grew we soon found out
That the worst part of life is that we're really invisible

So Alex took that train into the setting sun
It was like Alex versus The Bomb

You should have seen
That we could be so sentimental
I know it's been so very hard
For you to do what you do
But hey that's the thing
life rolls into an endless display
and you can't begin
To wonder why and still make your way

So the story goes he overdosed
He said he got so sick and tired of this life
So we burnt his clothes and dug his clothes
And said goodbye to his little life

All his life he had been the one
He'd been the Alex versus the Bomb
