Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Welcome to the Neverland never ever ever never land
They call me weirdo and sicko but I was just a friko
Slipped through the fence in the dead of night
Built me a castle out of carnival light
Pinball machines and a Ferris wheel
A magic show and a carousel
They said I lost my mind way back in ninety-three
I just wanted children singing harmony
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe I was lonely
Maybe I was broken
Maybe all those headlines just got spoken way too fast
[Chorus]
Welcome to the Neverland never ever ever never land
Where the popcorn pops and the music never stands
They sold my soul on the evening news
But I just wanted a childhood to choose
Welcome welcome welcome to the shadows and the gold
Every story that they told was bought and sold
[Verse 2]
Had a zoo with a giraffe named Jabbar
Had a moonwalk that put every star ajar
But the cameras came with their hungry eyes
Turned my candy house into alibis
I wore the glove to hide the burn
They wore the lies at every turn
Said I built a maze to trap the youth
I built a maze to find the honest truth
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe I was strange
Maybe I was odd
Maybe all their wigs were just a fraud on top of doubt
[Chorus]
Welcome to the Neverland never ever ever never land
Where the popcorn pops and the music never stands
They sold my soul on the evening news
But I just wanted a childhood to choose
Welcome welcome welcome to the shadows and the gold
Every story that they told was bought and sold
[Bridge]
Friko friko that's what they sing
Friko friko like a broken wing
Wierdo sicko on the T-shirt rack
But in Neverland the color's black
Heart-shaped sunglasses in the pouring rain
Washed away the guilt and left the stain
Come with me children we're off for the day
In the land where the grown-ups never play
[Chorus]
Welcome to the Neverland never ever ever never land
Where the popcorn pops and the music never stands
They sold my soul on the evening news
But I just wanted a childhood to choose
Welcome welcome welcome to the shadows and the gold
Every story that they told was bought and sold
[Post-Chorus]
Never never never never
Never never never land
Never never never never
Never never never land
[Outro]
They call me weirdo
(call me weirdo)
They call me sicko
(call me sicko)
But I was just a friko
(just a friko)
Just a friko in the Neverland
Mm
Mm-hmm
Friko
