Up every day, took my clothes off the chair
Poured out a drink, from the old Frigidaire
Some magazines, by the fire never touched
Shiny red step, always cleaned, always brushed

Now those days are gone, gone for us all
They wonʼt return, once there was a time, you may recall

Over the wasteland, the full moon would rise
Hot summer nights, put the stars in our eyes
Caught in the storm, between thunder and rain
Ran down the hillside, like we were insane

Behind doors to nowhere
We hide our childhood dreams
We pass time without care
Deceive when weʼre not there

Sun blinds pulled down, made the walls tangerine
Dancers in white, playing their tambourines
Slow dusty trains, disappeared in the haze
Coaches arrived, at the crowded cafes

Now those days are gone, gone for us all
They wonʼt return, once there was a time, you may recall

Over the wasteland, the full moon would rise
Hot summer nights, put the stars in our eyes
Caught in the storm, between thunder and rain
Ran down the hillside, like we were insane

Behind doors to nowhere
We hide our childhood dreams
We pass time without care
Deceive when weʼre not there
