"Kids Table" lyrics
(feat. Hurray For The Riff Raff)
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
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
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
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
