lyrics

You were old, but your mind was like a child's
Strong and full of youth, sharp and sub obtuse.

And you were the one that we all left behind,
And we all hope that you were the one who wouldn't mind.


We turned your back and sent you the wrong way,
You couldn't ask and didn't know to wait.
With wild ideas that wouldn't go away,
Forget those things and do not disobey me here.

Don't fall far behind too soon,
Brittle I don't mind,
Lead balloon.


Bad day, but just hold on and you know that soon you'll see,
Bad day, but it's only one of seven in the week,
Bad day, put your chin up and stop being so naive. [Don't leave.]


Don't fall far behind too soon,
Brittle I don't mind,
Lead balloon.
Don't fall far behind too soon [and it's too far gone, along]
Brittle I don't mind, [and it's too far gone, too long]
Lead balloon.
