The Bleachers: Teenage Horizon


hey hey little girl little broken girl

the one with rats running through your skin

i know a safe place you can hide

hey hey little boy little broken boy

the one with bats flying through your mind

i know a safe place you can hide

hey hey little one little sullen one

the one with crows living in your heart

there is no safe place you can hide

as the sun beats down so the world gathers around

it's arms are reaching out for you

as the leaves turn brown so the world gathers ground

it's arms are reaching out for you

hey hey little boy little broken boy

the one with rats running through your skin

i know a safe place you can hide

hey hey little girl little broken girl

the one with bads flying through your mind

i know a safe place you can hide

as the sun beats down so the world gathers around

it's arms are reaching out for you

as the leaves turn brown so the world gathers ground

it's arms are reaching out for you

cold at the edges steady and waiting ready and empty once you grow up

sterile cold edges ready and waiting steady and empty once you grow up up up up up

while the sun beats down so the world gathers around

it's arms are reaching out for you

now you know up from down and so the world gathers ground

emptily it's calling out for you
