• Pay no attention
    to the girl with the sharp object
    Pay no attention
    to what lack of it can affect.

    It started one day long ago,
    when life seemed bright and clear
    when a girl of twelve began to glow
    and whispered in my ear:

    Pay no attention
    to the girl with the sharp object
    Pay no attention
    to what lack of it can affect.

    From that day on I realized what's true:
    that life is black and white,
    there is no in-between, and few
    can soar and dive in flight.

    Get yourself your own sharp object,
    sneak up behind the rude.
    Give cause to say "We meet, well met."
    as sorrow must include.

    Get yourself your own sharp object,
    and "Thank you very much."
    And your mind and thoughts protect,
    make them recoil at slightest touch.

    Pay no attention
    to the girl with the sharp object
    Pay no attention
    to what lack of it can affect.
