Preyed Upon Lyrics - Singles - Tanita Tikaram

When your life has all been token 

And your stance is akin to breaking hearts 

You've grown weary, I'm not weary 

I can take your past 

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 

See your old friends and it's fresh as dew 

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

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 

"You 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 

Unless it's all alone 

You get preyed upon 

Oh ooo oh ooo, yes 

I need to complicate you 

To make you hate the things you might have done 

An' come out into the 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 

Unless it's all alone 

Unless it's all alone 

You get preyed upon 

Oh ooo oh ooo, yes
