The Little Boy On Fire Lyrics
The little boy on fire, they wouldn't let him
They couldn't let him go outside to play
He was to stay inside and practice his piano
Until there wasn't anything left of the day
And so when it came time to, to play in his recital
They wouldn't be ashamed
Of their own little boy who, despite his best intentions,
Just so happened to be bursting into flames
They said, "You'll burn the other children, and so you'd better stay away."
But all the poor boy really wanted was to go outside and play.
And you know its never easy
When your heart is
When your heart and soul is full of flames
And just because you are a freak show
You're not allowed to join in any reindeer games
And so the boy crafted a robot
To make it seem like
He was there playing
Piano every day
And then he'd sneak outside to
Meet the other children,
With whom he wasnt allowed to play
(repeat chorus)
They couldn't let him go outside to play
He was to stay inside and practice his piano
Until there wasn't anything left of the day
And so when it came time to, to play in his recital
They wouldn't be ashamed
Of their own little boy who, despite his best intentions,
Just so happened to be bursting into flames
They said, "You'll burn the other children, and so you'd better stay away."
But all the poor boy really wanted was to go outside and play.
When your heart is
When your heart and soul is full of flames
And just because you are a freak show
You're not allowed to join in any reindeer games
To make it seem like
He was there playing
Piano every day
And then he'd sneak outside to
Meet the other children,
With whom he wasnt allowed to play
