Lyric:
Children in the schoolyard
Sometimes like to play hard
Good Lord, there’s just no stopping you

Quite the little joyride
Crashing every red light
And who knows why you play it like you do

What’s it all about?
The words are slowly failing me
My heart is in my mouth
I know I’m going down
It’s a war I’ll never win
But I won’t come around until the evidence is in

Children in the spotlight
Look out, it’s your own life
Son, don’t screw up and spoil it all
Angel on the bonfire
Baby on the high wire
“That’s my boy,” they say, as they wait for you to fall

Oh what’s it all about?
The words are slowly failing me
My heart is in my mouth
You set your sights on Mars
Distrusting all within
And you don’t know your scars until they show up on your skin

And the sign reads “You Are Home”

Oh what’s it all about?
The words are slowly failing me
My heart is in my mouth
You’ve crossed one bridge too far
And who knows where you’ve been
And you won’t know who you are until you throw it to the wind

And the sign reads “You Are Home”
