Lyrics Peter Doherty – The Whole World Is Our Playground

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
