Only Playing Lyrics

Equal parts amnesia and equal part charade

What'll you do when they come for you?

You can write it, you just can't say

What is the point of a calendar when everyday's the same?

Warmer and colder, you're another day older than you

Were at this time yesterday

Animals of every type are settling in for rain

The kids are screaming from outside but I can't tell if they're only playing

Are they only playing?

My mantle needs a good dusting then, the skipper needs a shake

There's death in the air and grey in my hair

The news is real, the tan is fake

Equal parts arithmetic and equal parts day dream

I'm a blue-eyed bitch thumbing cars from the ditch

But I'm decked out like a queen

Animals of every type are settling in for rain

The kids are screaming as I write but I can't tell if they're only playing

Are they only playing?

When you're on your own

And you're far away from home

Aw, baby, don't look so sad

Want me to draw it out in CAD

Animals of every type are settling in for rain

The kids are sleeping as I write but I can't tell if they're only playing

Are they only playing?
