Hurdle a turnstile Smile in the face of the law And under the bleachers His sneakers carry the love He'll smuggle a liter The teachers broadcast his flaws Then he'll garnish his lungs full of fun To leave their faces in awe And that's the same kid Who shed a tear and wet the bed With a pocket full of promises And prayers in his head That's the same kid Who shrunk away in the dark Skipping stones 'cross the lake by the park Watch him falling slowly Like red and yellow hearts Dandelion Dan D Lion Dandelion Dandelion He hears it come near him The spirits they snap in a roar They sent him the venom His denim been stained by their claws Now they're firing sirens His vitals they drop to a crawl His lover and mother were summoned To answer the call About the same kid Who shed a tear and wet the bed With a pocket full of promises And prayers in his head About the same kid Who shrunk away in the dark In need of an angel From a mustard seed star Watch him falling slowly Like red and yellow hearts Dandelion Dan D Lion Dandelion Dan D Lion Dandelion Your exit was unannounced Dandelion Your sentence the wind pronounced And that's the same kid Who shed a tear and wet the bed With a pocket full of promises And prayers in his head That's the same kid Who shrunk away in the dark Skipping stones 'cross the lake by the park Watch him falling slowly Like red and yellow hearts Dandelion Dan D Lion Dandelion Dandelion Dandelion Dan D Lion Dandelion Dandelion
