Something filled up
My heart with nothin'
Someone told me not to cry
But now that I'm older
My heart's colder
And I can see that it's a lie

Woah oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh

Children wake up
Hold your mistake up
Before they turn the summer into dust
If the children don't grow up
Our bodies get bigger but our hearts get torn up
We're just a million little gods causing rain storms turning every good thing
to rust
I guess we'll just have to adjust

Woah oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh

With my lightning bolts a glowin'
I can see where I am going to be when
the reaper he reaches and touches my hand

Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
With my lightning bolts a glowin'
I can see where I am going
With my lightning bolts a glowin'
I can see where I am going
Better look out below!
