Maj Maj
a late april day and it's sunny outside
Maj Maj
and a red little girl's at the top of a slide
Maj Maj
and an an orange old man at the bottom
G#Maj Riff 1
wants to take her for a ride
Maj Maj
as she slips and she tumbles the orange man mumbles
Maj
pennies crash down from the sky
Maj Maj
and he tells her he'll take her away where it's safe
G#Maj Riff 1
and of course it is a lie
Maj
she's a third the down and her skirts are yanked up
Maj
and her little girl cheeks start to wrinkle
Maj
but her smile is wide and her legs are spread wider
Maj
her hair growing long and her hips getting larger
past getting brighter
G#maj Riff 1
light growing weaker....
Maj
she is halfway down now but the man is impatient
Maj
shakes change in his pocket he might have to wait but she's coming...
she's coming...
j
she's coming...
in
who are you blaming?
they're just playing!
that's a good one...
in
who left the playground
a good decade before the bell rang?
Maj
as she starts to draw nearer the view becomes clearer
Maj
the splinters are painful but she doesn't feel it
Maj
the pennies were loaded and as they exploded
G#maj Riff 1
she starts to spin out of control...
Maj
her eyes are now closing her sleeves are unrolling
Maj
up past her head and her veins are all showing
Maj
not that she noticed she's thoroughly focused on
Maj
one old man who's laughing...
who's laughing....
who's laughing....
in
dont' worry
Maj
i've got you
in
don't worry
Maj
i've got you
in
don't worry
Maj
i've got you
in
don't worry
Maj
i've got you
Riff 1
in
the orangeman got you.....
Maj Maj
a late april day and it's sunny outside
Maj Maj
and a red little girl's at the top of a slide
Maj Maj
and an orange old man at the bottom
G#Maj Riff 1
wants to take her for a ride
