[00:15.83]Hand on the throttle
[00:17.24]Thought I caught lightning in a bottle
[00:20.23]Oh but it's gone again
[00:27.35]And it was written
[00:28.63]I got cursed like Eve got bitten
[00:31.54]Oh was it punishment
[00:38.40]Pad around when I get home
[00:40.71]I guess a lesser woman would've lost hope
[00:43.99]A greater woman wouldn't beg
[00:46.20]But I looked to the sky and said
[00:48.75]Please I've been on my knees
[00:53.01]Change the prophecy
[00:55.90]Don't want money
[00:57.31]Just someone who wants my company
[01:01.69]Let it once be me
[01:03.66]Who do I have to speak to
[01:07.22]About if they can redo the prophecy
[01:13.06]Cards on the table
[01:14.39]Mine play out like fools in a fable oh
[01:19.09]It was sinking in
[01:20.76]Sinking in oh
[01:24.41]Slow is the quicksand
[01:25.88]Poison blood from the wound of the pricked hand
[01:28.71]Oh still I dream of him
[01:34.25]Please I've been on my knees
[01:38.72]Change the prophecy
[01:41.53]Don't want money
[01:43.05]Just someone who wants my company
[01:47.40]Let it once be me
[01:49.47]Who do I have to speak to
[01:52.92]About if they can redo the prophecy
[01:58.44]And I sound like an infant
[02:00.18]Feelin' like the very last drops of an ink pen
[02:03.98]A greater woman stays cool
[02:06.13]But I howl like a wolf at the moon
[02:09.77]And I look unstable
[02:11.61]Gathered with a coven round a sorceress' table
[02:15.36]A greater woman has faith
[02:17.46]But even statues crumble if they're made to wait
[02:22.09]I'm so afraid I sealed my fate
[02:27.67]No sign of soulmates
[02:30.33]I'm just a paperweight in shades of greige
[02:37.33]Spending my last coin so someone will tell me
[02:41.87]It'll be ok
[02:47.25]Ooh ooh
[02:53.76]Ooh ooh
[03:05.86]Please I've been on my knees
[03:10.14]Change the prophecy
[03:12.98]Don't want money
[03:14.37]Just someone who wants my company
[03:18.78]Let it once be me
[03:20.89]Who do I have to speak to
[03:24.40]About if they can redo the prophecy
[03:32.70]Who do I have to speak to
[03:38.62]To change the prophecy
[03:41.55]Hand on the throttle
[03:43.04]Thought I caught lightning in a bottle oh
[03:47.61]But it's gone again
[03:52.64]Pad around when I get home
[03:55.01]I guess a lesser woman would've lost hope
[03:58.12]A greater woman wouldn't beg
[04:00.51]But I looked to the sky and said
[04:02.41]Please

Hand on the throttle
Thought I caught lightning in a bottle
Oh but it's gone again
And it was written
I got cursed like Eve got bitten
Oh was it punishment
Pad around when I get home
I guess a lesser woman would've lost hope
A greater woman wouldn't beg
But I looked to the sky and said
Please I've been on my knees
Change the prophecy
Don't want money
Just someone who wants my company
Let it once be me
Who do I have to speak to
About if they can redo the prophecy
Cards on the table
Mine play out like fools in a fable oh
It was sinking in
Sinking in oh
Slow is the quicksand
Poison blood from the wound of the pricked hand
Oh still I dream of him
Please I've been on my knees
Change the prophecy
Don't want money
Just someone who wants my company
Let it once be me
Who do I have to speak to
About if they can redo the prophecy
And I sound like an infant
Feelin' like the very last drops of an ink pen
A greater woman stays cool
But I howl like a wolf at the moon
And I look unstable
Gathered with a coven round a sorceress' table
A greater woman has faith
But even statues crumble if they're made to wait
I'm so afraid I sealed my fate
No sign of soulmates
I'm just a paperweight in shades of greige
Spending my last coin so someone will tell me
It'll be ok
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
Please I've been on my knees
Change the prophecy
Don't want money
Just someone who wants my company
Let it once be me
Who do I have to speak to
About if they can redo the prophecy
Who do I have to speak to
To change the prophecy
Hand on the throttle
Thought I caught lightning in a bottle oh
But it's gone again
Pad around when I get home
I guess a lesser woman would've lost hope
A greater woman wouldn't beg
But I looked to the sky and said
Please
