The Adult

Is anybody listening in?
Is anybody listening?
Is anybody gifted?
Episode One is on again
And will be for too long
Then to be rewound and repeated

Paradise for the adult
Grown too tall for the ant hill
Left a trail of reactions
Can't trust a soul with their past

Once was enough, don't go back
You may grow too attached
Or find that the window is bullet proof
-Ways to waste a daydream-

Is everybody whispering?
Will anybody live again?
Is anybody listening?
Do beginnings really ever end?
Look all around, you made it!
Just for you, and only you!
Take it in
You could say, I love you
Every one of you

Bad advice from the adult
Grown too small for the ant hill
Failed attempts to be active
Don't trust a soul with your heart

Sharks are too big to throw back
You'll be under attack
Or find that it's wrong to kill animals
Once was enough, don't go back
You won't wake up intact
Or maybe you'll drown with your fantasies
And wake up in a bad dream

Paradise for the adult
Grown too tall for the ant hill
Left a trail of reactions
Can't trust a soul with your heart

Once was enough, don't go back
You don't want to be sad
