To Keep an Area - Guided By Voices

Child, you’ll know in time to go

And you try because you know that it matters

But you stumble on broken ladders

And it’s easier to turn back and go home

Child, I know you’re closer now

And I don’t want to see you go

But I’d kind of like to know

If I asked you to stay

What would you say?

From private monopolies

From public domain

I wanted to keep you away

And in an area

A safe haven

Your own zone
