Lyrics
Tired eyes Like coffee stains In old Penguin books My mother read My mind gets overwhelmed When I think Of all the people I’ve met The last few times I could feel the pain Just by the way they looked Never mind what they said These days life seems full of dread Like if you blink You might miss it all And you’ll be dead Take me back to childhood naps When everything was new Running off to school and back Back to childhood naps Fistfights Covered in film grain Becoming firewood For a burning bayonet That cuts you a new breath So you won’t sink All the way down the waterfall To start again Take me back to childhood naps When everything was new Running off to school and back Back to childhood naps Back to childhood naps Back to childhood Tired eyes Like coffee stains In old Penguin books
