We wrote on the sidewalk
When no one was watching
"This way to the ocean"
And she took her clothes off
And waved at the traffic
But nobody noticed
It was a stupid world
La da da da da da
La da da da da da, la da da
A train leaves at midnight
There's light in the hallway
And bags on the curb now
Where kids dress like soldiers
And bombs fill the windows
We'll marry in winter
In a stupid world
La da da da da da
La da da da da da, la da da
Soon the trees will be green again
And the sun will be out
Birds will return again from the south
Some suffer a blandness
A wild disappoint
Despite good intentions
I showed her my scars then
She showed me her bruises
Yeah, someone's salvation
In a stupid world, la da da da da da
La da da da da da, la da da
