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 won't 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 pass time without care Deceive when we're not there 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 won't 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 pass time without care Deceive when we're not there
