The Kids on Every Corner

Write it on the wall
If you think you've heard it all before
Write it on the wall
For everyone who thinks they've heard it all
Here's some more

If you grow up to be beautiful and wild
You'll just have to live longer as a child

The universal daughter
Heaven made you King
Of the kids on every corner
And the Queen of everything
And you'll live on for every one
Who didn't get this far
To sleep through rainy Tuesdays
In the back of your car

Everything's the same
Some things never change
But we perceive everything has changed
Nothing seems the same so we grieve

Can you believe that they're boarding up the future
Did you get in on time?
Dressed up in nostalgia
Now it's you, it's your turn to shine
