Childhood (Don't) A-Go-Go Lyrics

KAPOW and ZOOM in the romper room.

My world's a big cartoon

And I'm never gonna leave it now.

A cracker jack-ass prize.

I wanna slip and slide.

My secret hide out, ride out

on my big wheels bike.



I hit the thrusters on my mean machine.

It's painted black and green

and I'm never gonna give it up.

So leggo my super hero ego

My psychosis has been molded

into a ball of Play-doh.

Don't go! I wanna stay here forever.



Well, hang on and we'll be

best imaginary friends

to the end.

Recommended

for ages eight and up.

Shake it up

like an Etch-A-Sketch.

Erase the filthy wretch

of the life I have rejected now.



Well, Simon says "grow up"

and Simon says "shut up"

and Simon says "give up"

and be like everyone else.

I do not like it on a boat.

Don't like it with a goat.

Well, don't go. I wanna be here forever.



And I keep a playroom inside my mind.

Sanctuary in which I hide.

Blur the world into a dream, into a lie.

And I am constructing this fantasy.

Imagination is saving me

from the world I despise.



What about lonliness?

What about friends?

What about winning

and getting revenge?

And what about

all of the things that they've done?

It's time for some payback.

It's time for some fun!



It's gone. Don't go away.

Don't go away.

Don't go away and leave me.
