It takes a lifetime just to make it work    maybe universal, atoms go berserk    inside my little brain    prefer to stay insane    than to walk the narrow lane    I've seen it all before       Then fall asleep at night    forget you had a fight    you're friends the next day       It's hard to stay awake    after an exciting day    it's hard to stay awake    it's hard to stay awake    after an exciting day    It's hard to stay awake    after an exciting day       It's not easy to make a new friend    it's easy to pretend    but it's hard to make a friend    unless you are a child    I'd like to be a child    a child running wild    lots of places to hide       Then fall asleep at night    forget you had a fight    you're friends the next day       It's hard to stay awake    after an exciting day    it's hard to stay awake    it's hard to stay awake    after an exciting day    it's hard to stay awake    after an exciting day       Create for me a little open space   I need it just in case    I have to make a hit    then I might need it    a little green lawn where game could play on    and we could be children
