Lyrics: Charlie Steinman

lyrics

Milo sits cross-legged in a circle
Of Thomas tracks, surrounded by Hotwheels
He pushes around without making a sound
He stays relaxed on his throne of clementine peels

His dad comes in with newspaper in hand
He says "lead paint" and grabs his favorite engine
And Milo falls, and Milo bawls
And Milo claims he will have his revengin'

His eyes glow red
He broods in bed
He throws a Hotwheel at the wall
Because he knows
He never chose
If he wanted them taken at all
But Milo sees the little things
Ah, but he only sees the little things

Milo's house had steps on the stoop
That he liked to play on, although he'd get scrapes
But the steps were in shambles, no railing or handles
Concrete slabs awaiting medical tape

So one day, the steps went away
So he could play or walk onto the sidewalk
And Milo was miffed, he was sent adrift
His vendetta made, he breaks a stick of chalk

His eyes glow red
He broods in bed
He throws a Hotwheel at the wall
Because he knows
He never chose
If he wanted them taken at all
But Milo sees the little things
Ah, but he only sees the little things

When BP bought Amoco
Young Milo was its newest foe
Not for money, not for gas
But changing sings was the faux pas

His eyes glow red
He broods in bed
He throws a Hotwheel at the wall
Because he knows
He never chose
If he wanted them taken at all

His eyes glow red
He broods in bed
He throws a Hotwheel at the wall
Because he knows
He never chose
If he wanted them taken at all
But Milo sees the little things
Ah, but he only sees the little things
