lyrics

It's hard, it's really hard
Just to paint a smile on
When they say so much more, these little acts of violence

Well I could nod your head and eventually you'd agree
But it's just my hand upon your chin, that's that it will be

Don't ask me what to do with all these sandkickers around
We dance our pretty jigs, our feet are clawing at the ground

This isn't what you want
Can I set fire to ashes?
Find another grain of sand in my Billie Holiday eyelashes

I'll hold your hands in mine and say
"The life-line's strong with this one
You'll meet a tall dark stranger from the middle east
You'll have two rosy babies, and the life that you want"
Like I know every wrinkle, every crease

You said you might enjoy a lemonade one evening
I'm not a fool, that stung my pride
And hurt me in my sensitive feelings
