Are you somewhere safe as houses?
Close your eyes count one, two three
Run and hide now are you ready?

Ollie, ollie in-come-free
Itsy bitsy spider crawls
Up the clear blue glass, down the broken walls


All the games we played as children
To fight against the dark

Red, Red Rover, four-leafed clover
Ashes, ashes all fall down...


Feeling sick, stay home inside
See the t.v. news, and the New York skyline
I want to make you a sheltering sound

But right side's wrong, and upside's down

All the games we played as children

Not to feel so small
Red, Red Rover, four-leafed clover
Ashes, ashes all fall down, all fall down


And it's a beautiful world
Sun is shining so bright

And it tilts through the late summer leaves
But now there's a hole in the sky
God I wish I could believe in and pray

When everything changes in a day

Are you somewhere safe as houses

Mother may I run and hide?
Don't throw stones at other people
Hope your brother's on your side


And all the games we played as children
To fight agains the dark

Red, Red Rover, four-leafed clover
Ashes, ashes all fall down, all fall down
All fall down
