You sat on coloured carpets As a child Wondering when the time would come To grasp certain four lettered mysteries - Titled love, life. Both questions for another day. You stand now on technicolour floors Painted, though not quite as vivid Manufactured this time round - glass mirror-bred tricks of the light. And all those mysteries from so long ago - far off questions left for a far off day - they baffle you just the same.

"Grown-ups"
You sat on coloured carpets As a child Wondering when the time would come To grasp certain four lettered mysteries - Titled love, life. Both questions for another day. You stand now on technicolour floors Painted, though not quite as vivid Manufactured this time round - glass mirror-bred tricks of the light. And all those mysteries from so long ago - far off questions left for a far off day - they baffle you just the same.
