Little girl standing in a treetop
She won't jump down to the ground
But she's alright she says
While she's turning her head
Her big expectations turn into
His Hallucinations, the thing is
Her branches are thin
Too thin for his relaxation
And oooh he's on a walk, 'round her tree
He tends to slow things down, consider and see
Lying there and starring at the ceiling
Ain't no writings on the ceiling
She's in doubt she whispers out
It kicks them out of the clouds
Big expectations all turn into
Good vibrations, the thing is
The princess left home
Experience is his kingdom
Oooooh he's gotta act
He has to whip his shoes
Or soon he'll get trapped
She screams from underground:
You gotta make those lies
You gotta wear that tie
You gotta start that life
You've got to compromise
Uhhh
You sure shot that fine girl
You dug a hole and now she's screaming through your dirt:
You gotta make those lies
You gotta compromise
You gotta wear that tie
You gotta start that life
You've got to compromise
