Lament for a Teenage Millionaire - Meursault

Come on young reckless

And won’t you show me your patience

Or have you been so mistreated

That all you can think of

Is pulling the wings off

Of the already flightless

And that the heart in your chest

It is as useless as statements

That you had made in your youth

To assure all the lonely

That nothing is certain

And that all si illusion

Or is it so set in stone

Is it carved in your coffin

«won't you forget this name

He was born as an orphan

And he gave nothing back to this

Though he took nothing from it

This world that he watched

And passed his judgement upon it.»

Sleep tight my young millionaire

Sleep tight my young millionaire

Sleep tight my young millionaire

Sleep tight my millionaire

Come on young heartless

Won’t you show me your hatred

If that is all you can give

Then that is all that I’ll take

And I will climb to the top

Of this terrible canyon

And I’ll discard them like ashes

Upon the whole wolrd

And you will find in yourself

Something that is forever absent

And you will watch it dissolve

Just as quick as you found it

And you will watch it dissolve

Just as quick as you found it

And you will watch it dissolve

Just as quick as you found it
