Lessons On Living

Write down a list of all your recent hit and misses baby

You are not at all to blame you try and tell yourself

The ecstasy's waiting on the other side of your fence baby

Greener grass is growing for the lonely and oppressed

Write down a letter to yourself to read when you are older

To see how much you've grown in just the space of twenty years

So much can change and still you feel as though your life over

Please don't give up now you've got so much to offer dear

You've got your bags packed throw them in the backseat

Make a prayer for something you have yet to find

You are lovely that's what you are simply marvelous

It's tragic the way you fall behind

Write down a song to sing when you are feeling crazy

Make it simple so that you can sing it once you're driven mad

Seems it was so long ago you were actually happy baby

Now your only question man is where did it go bad

Write down the story of your broken mirror blue

You used to sit and watch for hours as the world it passed you by

It's so exciting all these lessons on living baby

Don't pretend you did your best you barely even tried

You've got your bags packed throw them in the backseat

Make a prayer for something you have yet to find

You are lovely that's what you are simply marvelous

It's tragic the way you fall behind
