lyrics

I know it's hard, babe
boiling in the kitchen.
I know it's hard, babe
digging in the sun.
I know it's hard
when all your friends have hidden
and you're left their work
while they are off to run.
While they're away...

You can play with my heart.
It's pretty cheap, but it's a start.
Kitten, tear it all apart;
it's better than string.

You can play with my heart.
It's nothing good but it's a start.
Leave it choking in the dark
with everything.

You got a lot
and still you're bored and cranky.
You pass the time
just hanging up your clothes.
You pass the time
complaining like you're aching
cuz you got a lot
but you got none of those
sweet things that stay...

You love me now
but wait until you're hungry.
When I can't feed you
we'll see how long it lasts.
When I can't reach you
we'll see who you marry.
You want a future;
I'm a student of the past.
But let's meet today...
