PREYED UPON 

Tanita Tikaram 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 

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 maybe old --- but not so old 

That I can see 

See your old friends and it's 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 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" play real basic 

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 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
