Fluorescent Adolescent

Inspired by the song "Fluorescent Adolescent", Arctic Monkeys

Your sweat dries on your skin

Your blood's filled with adrenaline

The neon in your veins

shows your only in your teens.

You dance and flirt and act all grown,

but you're so young, your mind gets blown

by handsome men and foreign things,

by holy grails and one-night flings.

You shine so bright it seems

that you still have neon in your veins.

You are a fluorescent adolescent,

this life looks so convenient,

old enough not to be a child,

but young enough to still be wild.

You are a fluorescent adolescent,

you always act so innocent;

run away from responsibility,

run away from your vulnerability.

You are a fluorescent adolescent,

You go through life, luminescent

You'll always have neon in your veins,

you'll always shine, it in you genes.

You are a fluorescent adolescent,

Your life exists only in the present.

Still not happy with the ending...
