What a strange day   Put your head out the doorway   Into the streets where the kids play   A game you used to know      As the day sets   Into the sky bottle rockets   Mothers are calling   It's time to come home      Oh, it's time to come home      Now, it's nightfall   You've got plans for nothing at all   Who knows who might call   But then where would you go      Go into the nightlife   Into the dim lights   Look for someone who will tell you   To come on home      Oh, it's time to come home      What a strange time   As you flip on your house lights   And you realize   There's no one at home
