The Lemon Twigs - The Lesson Lyrics

It's best to not be him at all
Your teachers say
The toxins in the air will take your life away
But don't believe a word from them
You'll be ok
For I will be with you

You can't afford to show your face
And smile back
This spark of a new love can cause a heart attack
So leave me here to smile
Until my teeth turn black
And I will grieve for you

And in the coming years
We all will disappear
Into the clouds then rainbows form
And if we make believe
That eyes create the seas
We'll feel less worrisome

I can't pretend to know what song I might have sung
Was told when I was young
That I'd meet the lord
But sitting here in class
That talk just makes me bored
While others nod their heads

I've always felt this distance I could not explain
I've chalked it up as something wrong inside my brain
But maybe we're all lost
Since we all bleed the same
Remember what I said

That in the coming years
We all will disappear
Into the clouds then rainbows form
And if we make believe
That eyes create the seas
We'll feel less worrisome
