Lyrics[edit | edit source]
It's the plan of most
To discover that magnificent ghost
When did I get perverted
And my innocent eyes diverted from the view so grand
Imbued with distractions
Sad Peter Pan
And you're lying, sad Peter Pan
And you're lying
I'm greedy like Senior Babbitt
I'm just chasing that electric rabbit
I'm a reluctant rebel
I just want to be Aaron Neville
With a crown on my head
And my denim shirt all dark with sweat
And you're lying, sad Peter Pan
And you're lying, sad Peter Pan
And you're lying, sad Peter Pan
I'm just pushing the paint around
On advice from your lying mouth
You touched me, then ran
And left a sad Peter Pan
All alone and awkward
But a transformation, it will occur
And you're lying, sad Peter Pan
And you're lying, sad Peter Pan
And you're lying, sad Peter Pan
And you're lying, sad Peter Pan
And you're lying, sad Peter Pan
And you're lying, sad Peter Pan
