Nerina Pallot Watch Out Billie lyrics

And my confession would have you on the floor
If you knew the truth
But that's the way they want you
Everyone's a sucker for the haze of youth
We're all prairie children brought up on the lies of the past
So it's no surprise then you will have to ask

Watch out Billie, 'fore you go too fast
You say, it couldn't hurt but then it couldn't last
You get fifteen minutes while they're watching you
You better hold your breath and hope your dreams come true

Watch out girl, you'll never be the same
If it's a cruel world you gotta play the game
You get fifteen minutes while they know your face
You'd better pray to God you win the human race

I'm like the weather, burning up to fire, burning up to ice

But I'm deathly certain, the little things we love
Shouldn't be denied, we get fed something
But we don't want it, we won't live our life with lies
You want your own heaven that you'll make better
You just want your own life

Watch out Billie, 'fore you go too fast
You say, it couldn't hurt but then it couldn't last
You get fifteen minute while they're watching you
You better hold your breath and hope your dreams come true

Watch out girl, you'll never be the same
If it's a cruel world you gotta play the game
You get fifteen minutes while they know your face
You'd better pray to God you win the human race
