LYRICS

VERSE 1
So much colder than t was the night before
Leather bots around my feet and a coat to keep me warm
Insulate me from the madness of the mind
I kept a diary when I was ten years old
Of the comic books I traded and the G.I. Joe’s I sold
(Not like the little cheap ones they make now)
And now Mike POwer is fighting in some little foreign town

CHORUS
Everybody’s got a dark dark spot in their soul
Where the demons go and hide
When they feel like they’re getting older
And would you lie to play with me?

VERSE 2
I was standing in the rain
A 20-day downpour
With a rock inside my pocket I tried to reach the other shoreline
Crashing like a lion on the terrace
I’m afraid, I’m afraid that I
Disturbed another meal
And your tomorrow could be just like yesterday
Pierce the center of my heart with a German hand grenade
On the border with a mortar out of time
And now Mike Power is fighting and he’s really lost his mind

CHORUS

BRIDGE
No one can take away the toys
From little girls or little boys
I’m scared of going nowhere in my time
It’s that restless sort of rhyme
When you’re running out of words
La la la la (etc)

CHORUS
No one can take away the toys
From little girls or very little boys
Oh the toys of little boys…
