Milk Cap Summer

[Verse 1]
Lunch tray on my lap
Foam stack in my hand
I traded three Spider-Man
For one gold skull brand

Binder full of thunder
Plastic in my palm
Backseat on the way home
Feeling like a champ

[Pre-Chorus]
I knew the rules by heart
I knew the shiny ones
I knew who'd trade at recess
And who'd just clutch and run

[Chorus]
Pogs in my pocket
Pogs in my pocket
Flip it, slam it
Watch the whole pile drop

Pogs in my pocket
Pogs in my pocket
That was my kingdom
Back when a milk cap popped

[Verse 2]
Gym floor after homeroom
Circle on the tile
You'd stack 'em like a tower
I'd grin that crooked smile

Slammers in my zipper
Chrome or painted bone
I kept the hologram dragon
For the day I felt grown

[Pre-Chorus]
The bell would cut the air
We'd crowd in like a storm
One quick toss of the disc
And somebody's set was gone

[Chorus]
Pogs in my pocket
Pogs in my pocket
Flip it, slam it
Watch the whole pile drop

Pogs in my pocket
Pogs in my pocket
That was my kingdom
Back when a milk cap popped

[Bridge]
I still smell the cardboard
The dusty class-room floor
Names written on the back
Like treasure, line by line

We didn't need much money
Just a pocket full of light
And one more shiny circle
To make the whole day mine

[Chorus]
Pogs in my pocket
Pogs in my pocket
Flip it, slam it
Watch the whole pile drop

Pogs in my pocket
Pogs in my pocket
That was my kingdom
Back when a milk cap popped
