Nothing ever changes my mind
I just sit here wasting everyone's time
Waiting for my chance to grow old and in the meantime doing just as I'm told
A baby at the breast of my dreams
Sucking must be more than it seems
But here's a way to get away:
Take my hand
Hold your breath and pray and sing a happy song
Back where we belong
Close your eyes and count to seven
Slip into a ninety-second heaven
Nothing ever helps me unwind
I just sit here reading everyone's mind
Waiting for their thoughts to go pale
Waiting for their lives to go stale
I can't afford to lose you again
I can't believe I lost you to him
But here's a way to get away
Take my hand
Hold your breath and pray and sing a morbid song
Back where we belong
Close your eyes and count to seven
Slip into a ninety-second heaven
I can't hear you over the noise
Let's all of us be good girls and boys
Playing with the toys our parents gave us (as if they really thought they could ever save us)
Everything begins to slow down
The lights are moving around and around
In and out
In and out
This is what it's all about
Sing a restless song even though it won't be long
Close your eyes and count to seven
Trapped inside a ninety-second heaven
