lyrics

Ingénue, what have we done to you?
Under that soft skin
I hear a tickin'
The currency of being 23
It turns from gold to dust
When you crest the wave of lust

So take all you can
From the mouth of man

Ingénue, framed like a cartoon
The borders clear and defined
The colors bold and bright
You want to be taken more seriously
But they just play you cute
And it's such a hard thing to do

So take all you can
From the mouth of man
And escape from this town
Before your sand runs out

Ingénue, what will become of you
When age's glacial pace
Cuts valleys into your face
The currency of being 23
It will remain the same
Just by another name

Oh Ingénue, what will you do?
Ingénue, what have we done to you?
