Bilingual
My hair was gray at 26, you didn't know
It's not what I chose to show you
It didn't match my bloodlust at the time
I never arrived too young or too old
Bold, angry or annoying
But now that I find myself young again
I've got too much hope for what I don't know
I'm a fool and I guess I've always been a Pollyanna
Living on the frontage road, going half the speed
We laughed ourselves sick, harmonizing with the freeway
Oh, Neglect, I've worked every second to please you
As if I am possessed, so metered and unswerving
A plasma cutter, a laser beam
And I'm just your technicolor creature
Trapped in this lenticular scene
Yes, I'm your Pollyanna, Pollyanna, Pollyanna
ย
Living on the frontage road, going half the speed
We laughed ourselves sick, harmonizing with the freeway
"Why would I come home if not to sleep?"
But I swap out a bunch of clothes and leave
Oh, Neglect, we've come so far, you and me
Let's do it all again, I am your Sorcerer's Apprentice
Your indentured ever-present
I am your sorcerer's apprentice
Your indentured ever-present
Bankrupted by my own ideas, oh, Neglect
