Safe, safe â enjoy your time feeling so safe,
and treasure that smile on your face, okay?
cause time will see that itâs replaced in a while
So go on & smile, smile, handshakes all around, thatâs your style
and no one would call it denial, for youâre
not even sure whatâs in store, though itâs more
than youâll be able to take standing up straight. And it wonât be okay.
And you wonât be somebody who itâs just happening to,
itâs 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 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 âSon, 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 youâll do good,â so I thought that I would.
Hey, hey - I love you, it goes without saying.
I would give you the world on a tray,
though theyâre already tracing a line across your throat.
Far too late in the game youâll 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 wonât. You should
know that it wonât, you should know that it wonât
you should know that it wonât
and so, Phillip, let go
