We are all backyard criminals
The daughter that hides secrets only gets physical
And the laughter over the wall brings about a change
To hold a different perspective on this brilliant day
The daughter stays awake
Even though she is tired
She must stay alive because the world needs a fire
Society needs new dimensions and flair
To set ablaze the culture under the midnight air
To be ignited and grow and swell
To hiss, wheeze, pop and ooze
To curl, to crumple, to spilt in two
We all set ablaze nights behind closed doors
We set alight the rooftops, the bar, the dance floor
Because we are backyard criminals
Burning till the break of dawn
