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't invade the temporary trust

the dream can take over the wheel

and you can drink untill you rut

but you've yet to imbide one ounce of thought



so you think 21 is all you have to live for?

(?)well i let those people stick their nose up(?)

looking forward looking back you see everything you're not

looking forward to the back



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 dumb to feel

don't take his place

for a freedom that's imagined and you thought it was real cos now you've come of age and your ears are starting to squel



so you think 21 is gonna last forever?

and all of your friends can grow old without you

looking forward looking back you see everything you're not

looking forward to the back

looking forward to the back

looking forward to the black
