One Tiny Taste 歌詞

I have earth in my voice, dear The world is my oyster and I am its pearly white smile I have fortune and freedom And men when I need 'em My life has charmed for a while But when I was young and obedient and dumb I was led to do terrible things By the state and the church And my mother who urged me To give up my dreams for a ring Tiny little girl yearning for The world settled for a wedding Tiny little groom marching To his doom never understanding Tiny little wife, tiny little life, tiny little ending I was building a prison I could have been living a life Lonely little man playing with Your hand, wishing you were bolder Secrets in a jar, fear of who You are weighing on your shoulder Holding it inside, holding very tight, slowly growing older You're building a prison, you could have been living a life The world is so wide and before we have died We will only have one tiny taste If you run off and hide like a wimpering child Just think of the life you could waste Break out of your prison It's time to start living You've only been given one life You've only been given one life You've only been given one life
