Savored in a fashion
Paint it up on billboards
Take apart the lusting fame
Rendezvous in secrets
Feeling with a passion
Who is going to feel the pain?
Tell them with your riddles
Tell them with your puzzles
“Am I just a mouse in your maze?”
Fixated on an ending
Where cat and mouse are friendly
But the children will not play
They say “oh what would you like?”
“What will you make?”
Yet nothing ever seems the same
They tell you
“When you grow older then you’ll understand
That not everyone has their way”
Goes On and On and On
Who’s playing in the back field?
Sixteen fillings
To tame the tantrums
Only the desperate eyes will play
Deceitful yet precious
The treasures, your fetish
A lie that you still entertain
Caught in between,
A nylon of dreams
Inside a world that was of yesterday
Sentimental touches
Quick romantic brushes
Felt within the change in age
They say “oh what would you like?”
“What will you make?”
Yet nothing ever seems the same
They tell you
“When you grow older then you’ll understand
That not everyone has their way”
Goes On and On and On
Who’s playing in the back field?
