play it out

Wolf Alice

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 oth?r fucker s plan

I wanna age with excit?ment
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
