Preyed Upon

Lyrics

[Verse 1] When your life Has all been token And your stance Is akin to breaking hearts You're weary I'm not weary I can take your part [Verse 2] It's eye-open time, sailor When they want you to pretend You were inside that playground I may be old, but not so old That I can't see I see your old friends and it's fresh as dew I see what's new And it's all the same to you Now, I'm not choosy, but I'm just half-grown I took the old man I gave the old man I took the old man back home [Verse 3] Safe with us to serenade To hang around Your black scarf and black ways "You have no idea," he said "No idea 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 [Chorus] Unless it's all alone Unless it's all alone You get preyed upon Oh, oh, oh, oh, yes [Verse 4] I need time To complicate you To make you hate the things you might have done And come out into this morning It's the sun you want Not the foreign time 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 [Chorus] Unless it's all alone Unless it's all alone You get preyed upon Oh, oh, oh, oh, yes
