When I was very young, when I was just a kid
I used to have this dream where I fell through the ground
And my dad would laugh as the arms of death
Pulled me further down till I couldn't see his face

So why do you run when I want you to stay
And why does my heart beat so fast today?
We got up and fell down every night glued to the light

Let me tell you something about
That town with **** and rotten teeth
Kids grew up 'round there but soon some got stuck
In time and came to life only in the blue

'Cause dream's the only thing to keep you going
And dream's the only thing to keep you sane
And sometimes I thought we'd be broken by age
But there always seems to be yet another page

And sometimes it's like I'm not gonna last
And the last thing I need is his vicious laugh
When we got up and fell down every night glued to the light

So why do you run when I want you to stay?
And why does my heart beat so fast today?
When we got up and fell down every night glued to the light
We got up and fell down every night glued to the light
