Music to my ears
I know kids
Are you a good boy?
No, it's not my nature
I'm a problem child
A kiss goodbye on the train tonight
Made me reminisce, we were young and wild
It's a parting gift to your wife and child
A loaf of bread and a sideways smile
It's a cloudy day
The sky's choked up but it doesn't rain
All the trees and the billboards look afraid
We're going to a better place
Happiness you can't escape
Sitting at the kids table on a holiday
Acting out your favorite scene on a big flat screen
While they're all watching for eternity
It's a masterpiece, oh
As you walk the block through the aftershock
You can get to that spot that was there, now it's not
We would meet in the court where the people shop
I was a queen for a day in Camelot
Guess I'm over the hill like a daffodil on a window sill
Withering in the sunshine of free will, still
We're going to a better place
Happiness you have to taste
Sitting at the kids table on a holiday
Acting out the final scene on a big flat screen
While they're all watching for eternity
Blasting off to outer space
Small step in a big rat race
Sitting at the kids table with an empty plate
That I appreciate
