Take Two

Can we go back?

Can I re-do my childhood please,
can I go back and do it just once more,
just back to my twos and threes,
I didn't know how quickly it would go before.

Can you take me back to those times,
back to when I had no responsibilities at all,
when there weren't any real crimes.
and people didn't stare if I acted like a fool.

So that I know of nothing bad in the world,
please make it so,
back to when I danced and twirled,
as I don't want to go.

Let's go out tonight, set the world ablaze,
and act as young as we used to be,
because now, in these dark days,
death is looming over me.
