Play It Out

When my body can no longer make a mother of me Will I change my notion of time? And will you change your mind? On me and I'll be something to leave behind When I scatter ashes in the river's water Will I change my notion of family How long before I'm happy? Again and I see those who still surround me I will rule the world, rock the cradle with a babeless hand Just watch me build castles in the hourglass sand Might still hear screaming in the hallway from the empty pram In my mind, I didn't put it there, it was some other fucker's plan I wanna age with excitement, feel my world expand Go grey and feel delighted Don't just look sexy on a man Just let me play it out Just let me play it out When I get there A place in time where life brings me elsewhere Will I change my notion of self? In sickness and good health I promise to love and cherish myself I will rule the world, rock the cradle with a babeless hand Just watch me build castles in the hourglass sand Might still hear screaming in the hallway from the empty pram In my mind, I didn't put it there, it was some other fucker's plan I wanna age with excitement, feel my world expand Go grey and feel delighted Don't just look sexy on a man Just let me play it out Just let me play it out
