Children in Bloom Counting Crows

[Verse 1]
Children in bloom, cooking in the sun
Waiting for a room of our own
Leave my sister alone
She don't deserve this
She is a flower and I am a flower
And we are all alone

[Chorus]
I gotta get out on my own
I gotta get up from this waiting, waiting at home
I gotta get out of this sunlight
It's melting my bones
I gotta get up from this slumber and just get myself home

[Verse 2]
All these wasted dreams
Just waiting for the sun to open
To open up my heart to anyone
Bring me some rain
Because I'm dying, I'm dying
And I can't get this damn thing closed again

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Where's the fun house this year?
The fairground's deserted and the skies don't seem as near
But Nicole's my oldest friend
But the altar is empty and she'll never be a little girl again
