Arrow
[Verse 1]
Time flies like an arrow, baby in a wheelbarrow
Swaying where the wind blows, static on the radio now
Bats eat fireflies, look at how the time flies
Baby in a wheelbarrow, static on the radio
Stayed up all night looking at the moonlight
Saw another bat fly and a firefly die
No more grapes left, no more tapes left
No more time left, no more space left

[Refrain]
Think the DJ left his booth
I'm staring at the roof, and there's static on the radio now

[Verse 2]
Time flies like an arrow; I will be a man tomorrow
World is quiet; there's a rainbow on the TV now
I will stay awake; the tooth fairy won't take all my teeth away
Rainbow on the TV
Take my teeth to the cemetery
Don't walk up the spiral stairway
Monkeys and babies are scary
My mom is not the tooth fairy

[Refrain]
Think the DJ left his booth
I'm staring at the roof, and there's static on the radio now
[Verse 3]
There are rainbows, there are daisies
Sweet old ladies, bats, and babies
There are no babes in wheelbarrows
No tooth fairies, no tomorrows
Where's my past, and where's my future?
When did the DJ leave this booth?
When did the wheelbarrow fall off the roof?
And where did the tooth fairy put my tooth?
Time flies like an arrow; I will be a man tomorrow
World is quiet, and there's static on the radio
I will stay awake; the tooth fairy won't take all my teeth away
Static on the radio

[Refrain]
Think the DJ left his booth
I'm staring at the roof, and there's static on the radio now

[Coda]
And I don't fall asleep
I ascend to it
And I don't fall asleep
I ascend to it
And I don't fall asleep
I ascend to it
And I don't fall asleep
I ascend to it
