Say Hey Kid

In the dream the curveballs keep on coming

Coming at me thick and fast

I'm ducking and I'm diving as they fly past

Then I pick up my imaginary bat and start

Smack, smack, smack, smack, smacking 'em back

As the voices in my head get drowned out by the crowd

The pitcher's doubled up as he's laughing out loud

Then I hear the catcher shout

"How's that your out?"

And the dream it seems to keep on coming

Coming at me from left field

I'm now a gladiator with no shield

I'm on my knees, the master cracks the whip

The lions are smack, smack, smack, smack, smacking their lips

My pleas for mercy are drowned out by the cheers of the crowd

The umpire's thumb is up and it slowly turns down

And the whole arena cries

"Let her die"

And the truth is I don't care 'cause I can't go on

There is no hope left, there is nowhere to run

So I'm bracing myself for the final blow

Then I see you there in the tunnel's light glow

In your hands you are holding a white flag

You're waving it and crying

Whispering that you're sorry for everything

In a flash I'm back, cracking a backyard

You're pitching and I'm smack, smack, smack, smack, smacking 'em hard

My legs are given wings by the cheers of the crowd

I'm flying 'round in feathers and laughing out loud

And I hear you say

"Hey kid, you can do worse"

Say "Hey kid, you can do worse"

Say "Hey", say "Hey"

Say "Hey kid"

Say "Hey kid"
