[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus]
Stop banging away on my kaleidoscope
Stop draining the color out of my scene
Just play me something I can dance to
I can dance to anything you wanna sing
So lock me up in a studio
Fill it up with sound and scenarios
Stop blocking the driveway with your car
Put the butterfly in the bell jar
[Chorus: Tom Delonge]
It's the first time that I'm worried
Of a bad dream, of a journey
On the highway, through the valley
It's a long road through the night
[Post-Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
It's a long road
[Verse 2: Mark Hoppus]
Hear a stranger's voice in the front yard
Let the hours tick past the deadline
Get another stamp in your passport
Wash your breakfast down with some red wine
Delete the progress on your game
Try to fall asleep while your ears ring
From the loudest songs on your mixtape
I can dance to anything you wanna sing
[Pre-Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
No reason, no action
No silence, no help here
Nobody came running up
By my side
[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
It's the first time that I'm worried
Of a bad dream, of a journey
On the highway, through the valley
It's a long road through the night
It's the first time that I'm worried
Of a bad dream, of a journey
On the highway, through the valley
It's a long road through the night
[Post-Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
It's a long road to get it right
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
It's the first time that I'm worried
Of a bad dream, of a journey
On the highway, through the valley
It's a long road through the night
It's the first time that I'm worried
Of a bad dream, of a journey
On the highway, through the valley
It's a long road through the night
[Post-Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
It's a long road to get it right...
To get, to get, to get it right...
To get, to get it right...
To-to-to get, to get it right...
[Instrumental Outro]

In the track by track for Neighbourhoods Mark said:
I woke up one morning with the line ‘stop banging away at my kaleidoscope, stop draining all the water out of my sink’ and I wanted to build that into song. I ended up changing the line but the mentality behind it is kind of being slacker in 2011,...
