Future Follies Video (MV)

Remember back when you were young
Did you tease a tooth with your tongue
You couldn't resist
Your fingers had to give it a twist

I used to turn around and around
Until my body flopped to the ground
The world would spin
And when it stopped, I'd do it again

Pick the scab and make it bleed
To feel the pain is what you need
Who said life is learned on the playground

Water balloons aimed at motorists
Was not an end but a catalyst
For the ensuing chase:
The race back to our hiding place

Mix up some lemonade
Businessmen in the refreshment trade
We'd drink it all then
Kick around the empty coffee can

The child is not so dumb
He is a part of what we become
Our life that we go through numb is so alive

We dug a hole just shy of China
Along the way, we thought we'd find
Some buried gold, 'cause
When you're eight years old, that's the way of the world

I used to be King of the Hill
Top of the world, I remember it still
It felt so good, but when
I left the neighborhood, I lost my crown
