"The Playground" lyrics

"The Playground"

I've been sleeping on the floor
I want everything and more
But I still wake up
Back shaped like a skateboard

I've been working round the clock
Still the second hand won't stop
Any minute now
I'll slide back to the ground

But the pain won't go away
Spotlights in my eyes
Can't see a thing
I miss the sand and the silly games
Cause in the playground nobody knows your name your name

I get up
Come strike a ten
It's time again
It's time again

I get up
Let's play again
It's time again
That time again

Don't you wanna stay?
Take another ticket to yesterday

I get up
Come strike a ten
It's time again
It's time again

I'm the kid who takes his hand
To every castle in the sand
Then begs his friends to build again
Start to get the feeling I could feel much better

If I just stop sleeping on the floor
I want everything and more
Back then you'd see me smile
If my swing lined up with another child

But the pain won't go away
Spotlights in my eyes
Can't see a thing
But in my mind it's a darker place
Cause in the playground nobody knows your name your name

I get up
Come strike a ten
It's time again
It's time again

I get up
Let's play again
It's time again
That time again

Don't you wanna stay?
Take another ticket to yesterday

I get up
Come strike a ten
It's time again
It's time again
