Play It Out

[Verse 1]
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?

[Chorus]
I will rule the world, rock the cradle with a babe-less 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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
I will rule the world, rock the cradle with a babe-less 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
