I remember that house boat by the pool
Yellow Brick Road on the jukebox
Well that was cool
Now the sunburn stings
And I feel like I was a kid, but I was a fool
'cause it all had strings attached
Right down to the milk they sold us in school
Everything orange and yellow back then
We went down the can*l by ourselves
Thought we had our own grip on life
Like the rope on a bell
But we were already building a world for someone else
Yeah, we were already drinking the dreams of someone else
You weave the rug you're now pulling out
I keep thinking, "How can I just see it now?"
We've been riding that white wave of sound
At every innocuous spot on the dial
At every transmission of some actor's smile
We willingly rode the white wave down
We rode the white wave down
Wake up one morning and it's not fine
But you can recite every line
Don't want to be another radio tower in time
But you can recite every line
You weave the rug you're now pulling out
I keep thinking, "How can I just see it now?"
We've been riding that white wave of sound
At every innocuous spot on the dial
At every transmission of some actor's smile
We willingly rode the white wave down
We rode the white wave down
We rode the white wave down
Oh we rode the white wave down
