Blanket and Crib |
Safe, safe — enjoy your time feeling so safe |
And treasure that smile on your face, okay? |
‘Cause time will see that it’s replaced in a while |
So go on & smile, smile, handshakes all around, that’s your style |
And no one would call it denial |
For you’re not even sure what’s in store, though it’s more |
Than you’ll be able to take standing up straight |
And it won’t be okay |
And you won’t be somebody who it’s just happening to |
It’s a trap that you, and only you |
Have laid, laid with a towel up over your face |
In your armchair, just lying in wait |
Waiting forces were gathering outside your door |
They sharpened their knives, knives and smiled with no smiles in their eyes |
A little bit larger in size |
And a little bit hungrier for that tiny prize |
And my mother she said «Son, remember this, no matter what someone did |
That they once were just a kid |
At breast and in bib, in blanket and crib |
So just reach inside yourself and find that part that still needs help |
Find that part in someone else and you’ll do good» |
So I thought that I would |
So hey, hey — I love you, it goes without saying |
I would give you the world on a tray |
Though they’re already tracing a line across your throat |
Far too late in the game you’ll find that you have been betrayed |
Propped up and pushed into your place |
I could claim that it all would go great, but the reason I came |
Is to say that it won’t |
You should know that it won’t |
You should know that it won’t |
You should know that it won’t |
And so, Phillip, let go |
