BMX

When I was a child, I used to ride my bicycle, it was a BMX
I used to race around the neighborhood
Wearing a black cape pretending to be Batman, keeping everybody safe

And oh the times have changed
Some people left gone their separate ways
Some alive, some are in the grave

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh Oh Oh
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh Oh Oh

Lying in bed with my girlfriend, police knocking at the door
“It's just another bomb threat,” he said, "Stay away from that window"

Cars crashing at the corner, a break in at the grocery store
Just keep on walking nothing happens, when you ignore

And oh the times have changed
Some people left gone their separate ways
Some alive some are in the grave
That neighborhood has swallowed lives
Some escaped and others tried
It's better to look back and laugh, than it is, than it is to cry
(Wo oh oh oh oh)

Having parties on the rooftop, drinking with all my friends
All the time in the world was all we thought we had

And oh the times have changed
Some people left gone their separate ways
Some alive some are in the grave
That neighborhood has swallowed lives
Some escaped and others tried
It's better to look back and laugh, than it is, than it is to cry

When I was a child
When I was a child
When I was a child
When I was a child
When I was a child
When I was a child
When I was a child

When I was, keeping everybody safe
