I want a child that never grows And a love that'll never get too old No slow days, there's an everchanging pulse Busy nights, the brightest lights You get your cake and eat it too I want to wake up to parades And neon billboard signs where the colours never fade away It's the happiest of all memorial days A slow retreat, a fast defeat If you're still alone i'd like to come back home I have been sleeping with the wolves Velvet sheets, the fattest sheep, and an everblowing cold breeze - It's like the planet's just for me There's so much earth, so much ash, so much sea If you're still alone i'd like to come back home
