Tanita Tikaram - Preyed Upon lyrics

rate me

When your life has all been token

And your stance is akin to broken hearts

You've grown 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

You may be old - but not so old

That I can't see

See your old freinds and it's as fresh as dew

But see what's new and it's all the same to you

Now 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

I 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

Don't forget you're alone

Unless it's all alone

You get preyed upon

Ohh oh

I need to complicate you

To make you hate the things you might have done

And come out into the morning

It's the sun you want

Not the foreign time
