The Whole World Is Our Playground Lyrics

You used to bowl around after dark
Blowing your hope and your smoke in the rain

I lit a little fire off your chimney spark
And I knew I would never see you naked again

The whole world is our playground
The whole world is our playground
The whole world is our playground
Take the night by the hand
And set it on fire again


I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
I don't know where to start, to begin
This song from my hide away
But I know that you know
I know you've been where I've been
It's killing you everyday
It's healing you anyway


If I ever heard this song on the radio
I swear I'd go out of my mind

But I try not to think about you every minute or so
But they, they sold you as a prize


The whole world is our playground
The whole world is our playground
The whole world is our playground
Take the night by the hand
And set it on fire again
The kitchen light is too bright
And the light of your mind is a sin
It's killing you everyday
It's healing you anyway

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
