Keeping Time - Angie McMahon

Now I’m keeping time, or at least I’m learning how to

I’m taking flight or at least I’m just about to

All the ways we can bruise are of use to us

And all the things I have burnt, I have learnt their cost

Oh, there’s cracks in me, oh, the cracks in me

I’ve been braced by the ignition

Waiting for a command

Young girl, I’m tired of your wishing and waiting

Has done me harm (Ooh)

I’ve done me harm (Ooh)

I was sinking in to a lust like it was water

Always juggling something I could not afford to

But I want someone who doesn’t mind it when I stand

I want someone who’s funny looking when they dance

I wanna dance with them, I wanna dance with them

I’ve been braced by the ignition

Waiting for a command

Young girl, I’m tired of your wishing and waiting

Has done me harm

I want the time to pass

So I’m speeding down the road

Oh, I want the time to pass

So I can move on and swallow this

And God, I want the time to stop

So I don’t have to grow old

Ooh, ooh, ah

Ooh, ooh, ah

Ooh, ooh, ah

Ooh, ooh, ah
