lyrics

Thank you for coming.
Had it been me, I don't know if I would.
Anyway, sit!
Let's bury the bad and bring on the good.

Play with me for now. I promise
we'll be finished soon.
Let's both say our pieces
and you'll be gone before noon.

Ring around a rosey,
when did you get so nosey?
Pocket full of ash
and a teacup pull of posey.

Don't change cups.
That one's yours, I insist.
Have I told you how good
blue looks on your lips?
Take one sip.
Yes that's right, let's get along.
Every hurt tastes bitter
if you let it steep too long.

Just you wait,
I have a surprise
that'll steal away your breath.
All I'll say is
it's enough to
scare you half to.... shhh.

You can't follow the leader
with ropes around your feet.
You can't follow me either.
You're not as quick as me.
(You'll never be.)

Don't change cups.
That one's yours, I insist.
Have I told you how good
blue looks on your lips?
Take one sip.
Yes, that's right, let's get along.
Every hurt tastes bitter
if you let it steep too long.

Forgiveness is in vogue,
but I was never one for trends.
So long! Farewell! And I
lived happily ever after.
Here's the end...

Don't change cups.
That one's yours, I insist.
Have I told you how good
blue looks on your lips?
Take one sip.
Yes that's right, let's get along.
Every hurt tastes bitter
if you let it steep,
you let it steep too long.

I think the most comfort I've felt in this life was being fifteen and playing this game at 2am. Words cannot describe how much this game meant to me caracalled
