The albatross is just
What I had in mind
A letter or number or color
Will do just fine
When I was young
I never did think twice
When I was young
I never did think twice
The necklace will teach you
What this world is like
The necklace will keep us
All in line
The albatross flew around
Three times
Capturing our hearts and our minds
You made a gesture in plain sight
You made a gesture, started a fight
The necklace will teach you
What this world is like
The necklace will keep us
All in line
The albatross looks asleep
But not alive
Write my number down
While there's still time
Before we go to bed, we say goodnight
Waking up we say good luck
And then goodbye
The necklace will teach you
What this world is like
The necklace will keep us
All in line
The necklace will teach you
What this world is like
The necklace will keep us
All in line
