watch out billie

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 to 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 miute 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.
