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
