When your life has all been token
And your stance is akin to breaking hearts
Weary, I'm not weary
I can take your part

It's eye-open time, sailor
When they want you to pretend
You were inside that playground
Now you may be old, but not so old
That I can't see

See your old friends and it's as fresh as dew
But see what's new and it's all the same to you
I'm not choosy and I'm just half grown
I took the old man, I gave the old man
I took the old man back home

Safe with us to serenade
To hang around your black scarf and black ways
"You have no idea" he said, "no idea of what I'll do"

And talking less, it chases home
It chases dreams, but I have really no reason, no goal and so
If you wanna play real basic
If you wanna help us make it
Don't forget you're alone
Unless it's all alone
Unless it's all alone
You get preyed upon, oh, yes

I need time to complicate you
To make you hate the things you might have done
And come out into this morning
It's the sun you want
Not the foreign time

And talking less, it chases home
It chases dreams, but I have really no reason, no goal and so
If you wanna play real basic
If you wanna help us make it
Don't forget you're alone
Unless it's all alone
Unless it's all alone
You get preyed upon, oh, yes
