------------------------------------------------------------------------------                                 PREYED UPON                                Tanita Tikaram------------------------------------------------------------------------------             When your life has all been token             And your stance is akin to broken hearts             You've grown weary --- I'm not weary             I can take your part             It's eye-open time, sailor             When they want you to pretend             You were inside that playground             You maybe old --- but not so old             That I can see             See your old friends and it's fresh as dew             But see what's new and it's all the same to you             Now I'm not choosy and I'm just half grown             I took the old man back home             Safe with us to serenade             To hang around your black scarf and black ways             I have "no idea" he said, "no idea of what I'll do"             And talking less --- it chases home             It chases dreams --- but I have really no reason, no goal and so             If you "wanna" play real basic             If you "wanna" play real basic             Don't forget you're alone             Unless it's all alone             Don't forget you're alone             Unless it's all alone             You get preyed upon             Ohh oh             I need time to complicate you             To make you hate the things you might have done             And come out into this morning             It's the sun you want             Not the foreign time
