Dungeons and Dragons

Blueprints for your great escape

Stacks in the attic of video games

Shark in a jar on the sill

Breathing formaldehyde in through his gills

Ooh, ooh

Evenings we spent in July

Pointing our telescope up to the sky

And when we'd say our prayers every night

We'd ask for someone to come down from the lights

Take us away, take us away

When he'd come home, full to the brim

You know what I know, there's no talking to him, ooh

Dungeons and dragons, ooh

Dungeons and dragons

Inside the game, you're okay

Longswords and spellcasting keeps all the bad away

And the monsters look how monsters do

Not like neighborhood kids with their hands full of rocks for you

And not like the grown ups who should be protecting you

When he'd come home, full to the brim

You know what I know, there's no talking to him, ooh

Oh no, go hide yourself

You know there'll be hell to pay, and you're the one paying

But soon as you're done, we can go back to playing

Dungeons and dragons

Broken but who knows what for

Lean in to listen for a key in the door

Broken but who knows what for

Lean in to listen for a key in the door

Now I come home, full to the brim

It's hard to not feel like I'm some part of him, ooh

Oh no, can't hide from myself

I know there's still hell to pay

Now I'm the one paying

If we ever got done we could go back to playing

Dungeons and dragons, ooh

Dungeons and dragons
