lyrics

Hey kids! Where are the games that we used to play? Where are the words that we used to say? I get a little more tired everyday. I wish I could sleep some time away. High tide, and I will make a call to you. Bumps in the night, but what are you going to do? Block it all out for a different point of view. Nightmare games are getting on the news. I hear the sound of a ghost living in my head. I see the face of a man from a book she read. I don't want to believe that the days are dead. I don't want to remember the words we said. In the back of my mind is a funny joke about the young protests and the aging folks. The eggs are cracked, but I can't find the yolks. Nightmare games are sweeping up the glass we broke. It's all gone. It's all here. Tell the kids that things will fix themselves. Tell the kids that you know their names well. Tell the kids that you are here to help. Nightmare games drag everyone through hell.
