Teenage Wonderland

Say hello to a world of ***** shots

Coloured pills replace jelly tots

Her hair is a mess when she comes downstairs

No second guesses at what they did up there

The room pulsates to an electric band

Welcome to Teenage Wonderland

 

Get caught up in a fast-ticking clock

Play with imagination's building blocks

Darling, you've no need to fear

They're just trips so get over here

Drop that bomb and taste that tang

Welcome to Teenage Wonderland

 

Come to dance with Satan's girl

Faster and faster the room will twirl

A glint is wicked in her too-big eyes

Calm your nerves, drain the bottle dry

Someone else puts a joint in your hand

Welcome to Teenage Wonderland

 

Your senses have fully woken up

Just one more sip from the golden cup

Then they have you smash another line

This feeling has got you in a bright-thorned vine

But it's too heavy, you can't withstand...

Goodnight to Teenage Wonderland
