Colonial Boy Lyrics by Devin Townsend

The Retinal Circus

1998

If you ever need a friend in me
...ever need a friendly deed
Please don't ever let me
Slip away
What I'll miss in the travesty
Is easier than it needs to be

Please don't ever let me slip away
Because it's cold in the fantasy
I'd do or say anything
Sell me, tell me, I'm wild
(I'm wild)
As I am in the fantasy
I'll do or say anything
I dance for thee 'cause we
All enjoy a wild colonial boy
-Cats- Time! Time!
Paddington, Paddington
That's the saviour
Awe saw sale ya!
Watch the boy he feels it all
Watch the boy he heals it all
