Just What They Told Me lyrics

I Guess what concerns me the most We're getting any younger so we like to boast Are the cracks and fissures splintering our lovely lives? Our acceptance of the shiny brand-new kitchen knives? So I have decided not to live that way I still behave in public And I don't confuse the night with day And I'm better off please don't say We know you'll never live without You have no way to keep it out I pray That I'll be saved before too long Another two or three days And I'll get it wrong A patch of thistle Measuring our early grave With waxy gleam We stroll along the colonnade And I have decided not to live that way I still behave in public And I don't confuse the night with day And I'm better off please don't say We know you'll never live without You have no way to keep it out I did just what they told me I'm just trying to make my way I did just what they told me
