Arrow Lyrics

Time flies like an arrow baby in a wheelbarrow swaying where the wind blows static on the radio now
Bats eat fireflies look at how the time flies baby in a wheelbarrow static on the radio now
Stayed up all night looking at the moonlight
Saw another bat fly and a firefly die
No more grapes left, no more tapes left
No more time left no more space left
I think that the DJ left his booth
I'm staring at the roof and there's static on the radio now

Time flies like an arrow, I will be a man tomorrow the world is quiet there's a rainbow on the TV now
I will stay awake the tooth fairy won't take all my teeth away a rainbow on the TV now
Take my teeth to the cemetery
Don't walk up the spiral stairway
Monkeys and babies are scary
My mom is not the tooth fairy
I think that the DJ left his booth
I'm staring at the roof and there's static on the radio now

There are rainbows, There are daisies
Sweet old ladies, bats and babies
There are no babes in wheelbarrows, no tooth fairies, no tomorrows
Wheres my past and wheres my future?
When did the DJ leave his booth
When did the wheelbarrow fall off the roof
And where did the tooth fairy put my tooth?
Time flies like an arrow, I will be a man tomorrow, world is quiet and theres static on the radio
I will stay awake the tooth won't take all my teeth away static on the radio
I think the DJ left his booth I'm staring at the roof and there's static on the radio now

And I don't fall asleep, I ascend to it
