What you gonna do
When you finally grow up?
My father asked me
Standing at the foot of my bed
We go to work
We come home again
You think it’s all
A bundle of fun
Don’t you, don’t you?
You couldn’t say anything
To that kind of jive
At six in the morning
You looked at the world
Outside your window
And wondered where the hell you fit into it
And that was the week that was
Slumming at a friend’s
With the gang
It was cool to be part of something
Until you realised
All along you were all alone
You took the drug
Did the black magic
Danced the venom
Right out of your veins
And you wondered what the hell you were doing
At the end of each day
Why do you act like you do?
She asked, looking me in the eye
Till she could see
How I hated and loved her
Rolled into one
We go to work
We come home again
You think it’s all
A bundle of fun
Don’t you, don’t you?
We were looking for life in suburbia
We hadn’t learnt to shoot for the moon
I was howling at midnight
Outside the window
As you cowered away
In your darkened room
I burned a hole in the chair
With my cigarette
You burned a hole in my life
With your ouija board and your Led Zep
There were others before you
And a lot more to come
They were lights in the darkness
Closing in
I really needed them
Every one
