Marathon - Jolly Roger lyrics

rate me

You handed me fragrant bouquets of emotion<br />

And I forgot<br />

To feed them water and warm sun<br />

You know I'm not good with responsibility<br />

<br />

This necktie hugs me like a strangler in the night<br />

I avoid looking from my Captain hook<br />

While I bake under these lights<br />

I'll be tossed in the musty brig if they know<br />

I've learned the truth<br />

That this numbing job is an iron claw<br />

Intent to rob my youth<br />

<br />

My life's just a fantasy, <br />

It's a neverending battle between <br />

The thrill and tedium<br />

I'f you're looking for adventure<br />

granoto my hand, there's just one rule<br />

You can't grow up, you can't grow up<br />

<br />

It can stunt your growth<br />

Stowing away with such a fool<br />

It's hard to evolve when firmly resolved<br />

To betray the adult World<br />

<br />

My life's just a fantasy<br />

And adventure is still the only thing for which I lust<br />

<br />

I'm you're looking for some fun<br />

Just grab onto my hand<br />

But let me warn you now<br />

I won't grow up, i won't grow up<br />

<br />

So Wendy flew back home<br />

She's ready to grow old<br />

She's sick of playing mother while i selfishly withhold<br />

My chance to be a man<br />

I just want attention<br />

I only want to lead this legion of lost children<br />

<br />

Now kids, clutch your daggers tight<br />

And sneak aboard this vile ship<br />

We'll make these villains walk the plank<br />

And we'll obey only the wind<br />

<br />

I can hear the clock ticking<br />

And I notice I'm all alone<br />

But there will always be one more<br />

Who wants to fly out her window
