Kidnapped Your Teddy Bear...

These are, by the way, the words to Stop Signs and Red Lights...I am working with my friend J right now and will soon have a website running that will be able to play it for everyone! In the meantime...

Stop Signs and Red Lights

Verse 1

Watching the shadows on my wall
As another car drives by
Scared of the tree outside my window
So scared I could just die

Hang on to a yellow flashlight
Until the daylight breaks
Barricade the closet door
Whatever it would take

Driving along in my car
These memories impair
Why didn’t anyone ever try to help
The little boy that was so scared?

Chorus

At stop signs and red lights
You remember the fright
Under your covers
Nowhere else for you to hide

Watch out for the monsters
You still remember what they did
Kidnapped your teddy bear
Was so tough to be a kid

Verse 2

Once again I’m ten years old
Riding back home on the bus
25 cents in a big glass jar
For every time I’d cuss

With a peanut butter and jelly sandwich
That I refused to eat
Always a fight right after school
With the bully from down the street

Driving along in my car
These memories impair
Why didn’t anyone ever try to help
The little boy that was so scared?


Repeat Chorus


Bridge

Look at me,
I’m asking now...
How can you fight back
When you don’t know how?

Answer me,
I’m asking now...
How can you fight back
When you don’t know how?

Back to Chorus
