When everyday begins in yesterday When every light around you shines You are the lover of a hundred others So don't tell me what to do Retreat resist relent redemption Be careful not to cut your hair Be sorry for all your sins and all their mothers But don't tell me what to do I am forever trying to defend I lost my childhood qualities when I was ten Don't quite recall when it began Ooh I can't remember such a drain Believe the truth before you breathe it Beloved sometime before the truth Your pathway forward is an exit dooray So don't tell me what to do I am forever trying to defend I lost my childhood qualities when I was ten Don't quite recall when it began Ooh I can't remember such a drain I am forever trying to defend I lost my childhood qualities when I was ten Don't quite recall when it began Ooh I can't remember such a drain I am forever trying to defend I lost my childhood qualities when I was ten Don't quite recall when it began Ooh I can't remember such a drain
