Kids Table (feat. Hurray for the Riff Raff)

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
