[Verse 1]
Great fun
Climb up way higher than the sun
The ripe ones so far out but
If you fall, I will call you a loser
One drop of blood, brother
I'll mix with yours!
Poor child, clean yourself
Hurry off to your room, now go
The wrong I've done
I guess I'll never know
[Chorus]
A day away from the playground
Far from every dream
This ain't the life of a hero...
Wrong or right, in the air tonight
Come daylight!
[Verse 2]
We'll sneak out...
Careful, don't wake my mother up
I'll be back before daybreak 'cause
"Desperate times
Call for desperate measures!"
Exciting adventure now lies ahead
Let's go, inside I hear the warnings
Please don't let me down
It's so dangerous on the darker side of the town
[Chorus]
So stay away from the playground
Far from broken dreams
Behind the blinds in that window
I am right, now turn off the light and
Sleep, goodnight!
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
I've been dreaming forever and ever
Take my hand let's go to another...
Place where we can lose ourselves in games
And we don't have to be...
[Chorus]
One day away from the playground
Far from every dream
This ain't the life of a hero
Wrong or right, in the air tonight
Come daylight!
