Up every day Took my clothes off the chair Poured out a drink From the old Frigidaire Some magazines By the fire, never touched Shiny red step Always cleaned, always brushed Now those days are gone Gone for us all They wonʼt return Once there was a time You may recall Over the wasteland The full moon would rise Hot summer nights Put the stars in our eyes Caught in the storm Between thunder and rain Ran down the hillside Like we were insane Behind doors to nowhere We hide our childhood dreams We pa** time without care Deceive when weʼre not there The sun blinds pulled down Made the walls tangerine Dancers in white Playing their tambourines Slow dusty trains Disappeared in the haze Coaches arrived At the crowded cafes Now those days are gone Gone for us all They wonʼt return Once there was a time You may recall Over the wasteland The full moon would rise Hot summer nights Put the stars in our eyes Caught in the storm Between thunder and rain Ran down the hillside Like we were insane Behind doors to nowhere We hide our childhood dreams We pa** time without care Deceive when weʼre not there Over the wasteland The full moon would rise Hot summer nights Put the stars in our eyes Caught in the storm Between thunder and rain Ran down the hillside Like we were insane Behind doors to nowhere We hide our childhood dreams We pa** time without care Deceive when weʼre not there
