Death Cab For Cutie - Ingenue lyrics

rate me

Ingenue what have we done to u?

Under that soft skin

I hear a tickin'

The currency of bein' 23

It turns from gold to dust

When u crest the wave of lust

So take all u can

From the mouth of man

Ingenue framed like a cartoon

The borders clear & defined

The colors bold & bright

U will want to be taken more seriously

But they just play a cue

And it's such a hard thing to do

So take all u can

From the mouth of man

And escape from this town

Befo' ur sand runs out

Befo'ur sand runs out

Ingenue, what will become of u?

When age's glacial pace

Cuts valleys into ur face

The currency of bein' 23

It will remain the same

Just by another name

Oh, Ingenue, what will u do?

Oh, Ingenue, what have we done to u?
