Beneath suburban skies of blue

There is a nightmare coming true

He's leaving home

Cause his daddy takes to drinking

And likes to beat him black and blue



At 13 he knows how to score

And he don't feel much any more

As he lies on the floor

Of his mothers arms he's dreaming

His memories are just a blur



Hazy daze, Living like there's no tomorrow

Hazy daze, A perfect world no hurt no sorrow

Hazy daze, A shadow always walks behind you

Hazy daze, For you and I and the world we're living in



Beneath the cold grey city skies

He's standing 16 stories high

With the wind in his hair

He's falling to his freedom

Into an angels arms this time



Hazy daze, Living like there's no tomorrow

Hazy daze, A perfect world no hurt no sorrow

Hazy daze, A shadow always walks behind you

Hazy daze, For you and I and the world we're living in



Sure as the sun will shine

These days are yours and mine

And we own these hazy

days



Beneath the cold suburban skies

He's standing 16 stories high
