New Messiahs - Long Way Home

Daydreams of Saturdays
Grazed knees and roller skates
At 3 o'clock I'll run as fast as my legs will carry me
Spend my money up the old parade
On candy cigarettes and lemonade

My mother said
No one will take it off you
Son put your coat on
Or you'll catch your death from the cold
Why don't you do as you're told?

And when I see you there at the disco
There's no dance for me
So I take the long way home
And I'll just live in hope she'll follow

Take the long way home
Sure to pass your house again
I'll never make it in for ten
Take the long way home
Tiptoe up the stairs
To brush my teeth and say a prayer
And contemplate the long way home

The bell rings
And the charge begins
It's feeding time at the zoo
And then I'm gone
King of the playground
Plastic soldiers, paper planes
Skipping ropes and daisy chains
Get off the bus at your stop

Take the long way home
Sure to pass your house again
I'll never make it in for ten
Take the long way home
Tiptoe up the stairs
To brush my teeth and say a prayer
And contemplate the long way home

Take the long way home
Sure to pass your house again
I'll never make it in for ten
Take the long way home
Tiptoe up the stairs
To brush my teeth and say a prayer
And contemplate the long way home

It's late so let me out
No time to hang about
So I'll just take the long way home

If you've come to say hello
Looking through your bathroom window
So I'll just take the long way home
Take the long way home
Take the long way home
Take the long way home
