Young and No Telling

once was twenty of age and not a dime in my pocket
exile in a silence of foreign i was called an alien

want to see UFO I show you my basket
naive you call it but make no mistake

the ride a roller coaster if your'e lucky
hands in pocket you strut a brain

on your own that is freedom of a pussy
feather flying you lick your wounds

under the radar you make a go to see
your towers collapse front of your eyes

a deck of card the child scream no more school 
now I do not owe a dime all paid in full

fool me once not astute i open my arms 
for an embrace of dog not schedule

on the tarmac the planes depart
tomorrow another day
