I Know Things Now (Instrumental Version)
Mother said
straight ahead
not to delay or be mislead
I should have headed her advice
but he seemed so nice.
And he showed me things
Many beautiful things
that I hadn't thought to explore.
They were off mt path,
So I never had dared
I had been so careful
I never had cared
And he made me feel excited-
Well excited and scared.
When he said
Come In!
With that sickening grin
How could I know what was in store
Once his teeth were bare
though I really got scared
Well excited and scared
But he drew me close
and he swallowed me down
Down a dark slimy path
Where lie secrets that I never want to know
And when everything familiar
seemed to dissappear forever
at the end of the path
Was granny once again
So we lie in the dark
ATill you came and set us free.
And you brought us to the light
And we're back at the start
And I know things now
Many valuable things
That I hadn't known before
Do not put you faith in a cape and a hood
They will not protect you
the way that they should
And take extra care with strangers
even flowers have their dangers
And though scary is exciting
Nice is different then good
Now I know
Dont be scared
Granny is right
Just be prepared
Isnt it nice to know a lot
And a little bit...
NOT!
