Lady Hourglass, Your Head's On Fire! - Said The Whale

Come lady hourglass

Take me by the hand

I’ll shower you with gifts

If you’ll just make the hard time pass

You’re tall and blue and crystalline

I’ll be yours if you’ll be mine

In this ancient battle against time

We’re bound to make a mark

We gotta get some weight on that tiny waist

Yeah open up that little space

With chocolate covered lollipops

And all that stuff

We’ll break the spirits of the sand

In every hourglass of the land

Sand’s rushing to your feet

Just like your head’s on fire

Your head’s on fire

Now it’s been seven years inside a month

And I think our plan it worked too much

Cuz yesterday I woke up

And my life was gone

My hair is grey my skin is tough

I’m wrinkled and my voice is rough

Tell me lady hourglass

What went wrong?

Boy you gave me lollipops

And chocolate covered lemon drops

My waist it grew, the sand it dropped

And time flew by

With every single grain of sand

That passes through my crystal hands

A child is born, a boy’s a man

This you have to understand

So play the cards that you were dealt

No matter if you’re feeling well

The best will come around to you

The best will come, the best will come

The best will come around to you

Even if your head’s on fire

Your head’s on fire
