Come lady hourglass,
Take me by the hand
I'll shower you with gifts,
If you'll just make the hard times 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!
Your head's on fire!
Your head's on fire!
Your head's on fire!

Now it's been seven years inside a month
And I think I our plan, it worked too much
Cause 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!
Your head's on fire!
Your head's on fire!
Your head's on fire!
