The Fooling

"Childhood is a promise that is never kept." - Ken Hill (1925-1995)

See those men they consist of evil
See them cuddling filth with love
See this man as he's all alone now
Shouting down at the world above

I met all kinds of people that shattered my universe
The wrong kind were the right kind of people
That shook and shattered much worse

As I came to realize
That there's much more to life
In every corner of my mind I stashed away
My youth gone blind
In every corner of my mind I stashed away
My youth gone blind

Saw my spring as something annoying
Something easy to forgot
Saw some things that were so appalling
Even to a grown man as I am now

As I came to realize that there's much more to life
as there's only one token given spend it wise
As for me I wasted mine
As for me I wasted my time
As for me I wasted mine
As for me I wasted my

Time

See now I'm falling down I will start to crawl up
And to spit out the words to hear
And to believe that love will conquer all
And belief is all you want from me and the world around

Don't speak of daddy dearest if there's something wrong with me
Try to tell me but don't you fuckin' hurt me
'Cause I am feeble and longing for some rest inside of me
And am I still your boy?

I, I, I, I am the enemy of time
Therefore I, I rule your life
With my hands telling what or not to do
Not just for keeping time
Locked up in this heart of mine
And longing to get out of your sight
I'm telling you what or not to do
I am the enemy of time
The enemy of time

As I came to realize
That there's much more to life
As for the nasty stashed away
In my head it's still there it won't go away

Oh, I can I can feel your warmth, it's radiant to me
What you had in store for me is no surprise
'Cause I can see and see and see
Parental as two kids can be
There's always three hearts so who's fooling who
Even in my fantasy there's no cool in this relationship

So who's fooling who?
