[Verse 1]
Shane does say
On a tired summer day
"Mom and Dad, I'd like to make a change
Or I'll slip away"
[Verse 2]
Vaudeville School Days
On the TV set does play
Something clicks inside his little brain
The answer's plain
[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Oh, please believe me
I'm asking you to try
Life escapes me night and day
Well, I just can't stay
[Outro]
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
