[Intro] Candles on the windowsill Dust on every frame Boot prints in the hallway Same boots Different age [Verse 1] Got a paycheck and a pension form Still draw coffins in the margin at work Wear a tie like a funeral joke Lipstick black on a coffee cup [Chorus] We never grew out of the black lace Just learned to haunt a brighter place Under these coats The corsets stay Goths don't grow up We only change our graves (oh, we stay the same) Goths don't grow up We decorate the cage [Verse 2] Kids asleep Eyeliner on Turn the volume down Let the records spin slow At the school gate Hiding rings in gloves But the heart still beats in a basement show [Chorus] We never grew out of the black lace Just learned to haunt a brighter place Under these coats The corsets stay Goths don't grow up We only change our graves (never fade, never fade) Goths don't grow up We decorate the cage [Bridge] Choir calls in an empty mall Boots on tile like a ritual march All the ghosts in the office lights Are just old kids in darker hearts [Chorus] We never grew out of the black lace Just learned to haunt a brighter place Under these coats The corsets stay Goths don't grow up We only change our graves (sing it low, sing it brave) Goths don't grow up We decorate the cage
