Preyed Upon Lyrics

                                 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
