lyrics: J. Morse © 1985 Forever a child, asking questions Making faces, telling lies Don't you ever realize You conjure tales from out of the blue Too confusing, overdone What made you think you were the one? But I don't want to hear your words Your fabrications anymore Don't tell me stories, I said I don't want to hear anymore Forever a child, needing answers Inquisitive gaze, look of surprise You never realized Your words deceive, a veil over us You swear to God you tell the truth But we can't blame it on youth anymore Don't (speak the riddle) Tell (guess the catch) Me stories Don't (watch the window) Tell (see the sun) Me stories Don't tell me lies Never a child, always planned Playing games, twisting me Maybe someday you will see All the error of your ways You want about it incorrectly Never looking to protect me From your inner veil From you malevolence You shroud your inner ego With lack of tolerance And the crowds that gather around you Can't wait for your next play Cause it's sure to be exciting As colors flash -- And then I fade away Don't (speak the riddle) Tell (guess the catch) Me stories Don't (watch the window) Tell (see the sun) Me stories Don't tell me lies Don't (speak the riddle) Tell (guess the catch) Me stories Don't (watch the window) Tell (see the sun) Me stories Don't tell me lies |
