Silver Surfer
Infernal Lyrics

Silver surfer
With a silver tongue
Giving us a look into
A look into what's wrong

I'll tell you 'bout a girl just like any other
Just a girl - acting all grown up
And don't say
"She sounds all messed up!"

No 'cause any way you see it she's a girl and not a woman
And he knew that - oh and still he let her
Faithfully and honestly expose herself - silly girl!

She was simply playing
He was being serious
And she toyed with his mind and they had a good time
And she felt safe

And I don't think she is responsible
He's the grown-up, not the girl
Even if she looks cheap, she's a child, so forget it
And walk away

Silver surfer
With a silver tongue
Giving us a look into
A look into what's wrong

And there is no way

You can justify
Putting all the blame on her
And shame on you if you try

I understand why he got tempted
By a girl
Young, fresh and unaware
'Cause she said
"Oh, let me sex you up"

Then they talked about meeting
Get a little dinner
And she felt good - like an adult
Little did she know what would follow - silly girl!
Finally she gave in
Met him at a restaurant
And she felt kind of strange when he poured her wine
But she was fine

I don't think she is responsible
He's the grown-up, not the girl
Even if she looks cheap, she's a child, so forget it
And walk away





Silver surfer
With a silver tongue...
