Aah, but I know a place where we can go
And you can lay your head back on the ground
I need to remember this
But now those skies are threatening
Since daddy had to lie
Aah, but I know a place where we can go
When happily ever after fails
And let your hair fall all around me
Didn't have a care in the world
Since daddy had to fly
And wash away this sin
But somewhere back there in the dust
With mommy and daddy standing by
We'll sit and watch the clouds roll by
The lawyers dwell on small details
And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales
Who knows how long this will last
Offer up your best defense, this is the end
And the tall grass waves in the wind
Just lay your head back on the ground
Now we've come so far, so fast
And let your hair spill all around me
Oh, beautiful for spacious skies
Armchair warriors often fail
Before we say goodbye
Just lay your head back on the ground
We'll sit and watch the clouds roll by
For this tired old man that we elected king
The lawyers clean up all details
This is the end of the innocence
So baby, give me just one kiss
This is the end of the innocence
That's still untouched by men
And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales
That same small town in each of us
And let me take a long last look
And let your hair fall all around me
And the tall grass waves in the wind
Offer up your best defense but this is the end
Offer up your best defense but this is the end
They're beating plowshares into swords
