Lyrics and translation
Original
All right, took a little break there. Everybody can hear themselves, correct?
Yep.
Okay, gotcha.
When my body can no longer make a mother of me, will I change my notion of time?
And will you change your mind of 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'll see those who still surround me?
I will rule the world, rock the cradle with a babyless 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 did 'em, put it there. What's a motherfucker's plan?
I wanna age with excitement, feel my world expand. Go gray 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, that 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 babyless 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 did 'em, put it there. What's a motherfucker's plan?
I wanna age with excitement, feel my world expand. Go gray and feel delighted.
Don't just look sexy on a man. Just let me play it out.
Just let me play it out.
