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 pass 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 pass 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 pass time without care
Deceive when weʼre not there
