21

Lyrics

There's been plenty written about Things to avoid on the way I don't want to turn the clock back I just want to recognize All the outward telltale signs of age So you think 21 is gonna be a good year? Well whoever gave you such an idea? Incense and pessimism can abate the temporary drought The drink can take over the wheel And you can drink until you rot But you've yet to imbibe one ounce of thought So you think 21 is all you have to live for? Well I love those people who set thеir goals high Looking forward looking back you see everything you're not Looking forward to thе black Just because it's legible doesn't mean you can read it There is no time like the effervescent There's a man on the bus crying 'cus he's too numb to feel Don't take his place For a freedom that's imagined and you thought it was real 'cause now You've yet to come of age and your gears are starting to squeal So you think 21 is gonna last forever? Well all of your friends can grow old without you Looking forward looking back you see everything you're not Looking forward to the black Looking forward to the black Looking forward to the black
