The Great Migration: Peter Pan

Peter Pan
What are you doing here? Whatever happened to Wendy?
Where have all the lost boys gone?
Got a bloody nose
Snorted too much fairy dust – forgotten how to fly
Can you hear the audience yawn?

You’re like a lost lawn gnome standing on a pool table
Out in everybody’s way
Trying to figure out the green
Always the rotten egg
The public stepstool
At the corner pocket of your life
You just keep scratching…

Peter Pan
You’re thirty-one tomorrow – still out chasing teenage girls
Eyeing Alice and Dorothy
Had a heart of gold
When did it turn to pyrite – when did James get the upper hand
With his cutthroat authority

Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick
Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick
Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick
Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick
Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick
Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick
Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick…
