8. Adrian Adrian came home again last summer.
Things just haven't been the same 'round here.

(Chorus)
And people talk,
And people stare.
Oh, Adrian, come out and play.

An unfortunate accident in a canoe;
Doctor said, "I'm sorry, not much I can do."

(Chorus 2)
And the air was so still,
And his eyes, they did not blink.
Oh, Adrian, come out and play.

Little Mary Epperson liked him
And she vowed always to watch after him.

(Chorus 3)
But still he did not move
And the doctor said it's no use.
Oh, Adrian, come out and play.

(Bridge)
And she sat by his side
And watched the years fly by.
He looked so fragile, he looked so small
And she wondered why he was still alive at all.

Everyone in town had that "I'm so sorry" look;
They talked in a whispered hush, said,
"I'd turn the machines off,"

(Chorus 4)
But still she sat by his side;
She said, "Life he won't be denied."
Oh, Adrian, come out and play.

Yellow flowers decorate his bedroom;
Sign above his door says "Welcome Home."

(Chorus 5)
But he just sits and stares.
He's awake but still not there.
Oh, Adrian, come out and play.

(Bridge)

And little Mary Apperson grew up lovely,
And she still comes to visit him on Sundays.

(Chorus 6)
He's like an unused toy;
He's got big hands but the mind of a little boy.
Oh, Adrian, come out and play.

Adrian came home again last summer.
Things just haven't been the same 'round here.

9. I'm Sensitive

I was thinking that I might fly today,
Just to disprove all the things that you say.
It doesn't take a talent to be mean.
Your words can crush things that are unseen.

(Chorus)
So please be careful with me, I'm sensitive
And I'd like to stay that way.

You always tell me that it's impossible
To be respected, and be a girl.
Why's it gotta be so complicated?
Why you gotta tell me if I'm hated?

(Chorus)

And I was thinking, that it might do some good
If we robbed the cynics and took all their food.
That way what they believe will have taken place
And we'll give it to everybody who has some faith, though.

(Chorus)

I have this theory, that if we're told we're bad
Then that's the only idea we'll ever have.
But, maybe if we are surrounded in beauty,
Someday we will become what we see.

'Cause anyone can start a conflict;
It's harder yet to disregard it.
I'd rather see the world from another angle.

(Chorus)
We are everyday angels
Be careful with me 'cause I'd like to stay that way.
