Caroline Polachek
Child’s Play
[Verse 1]
Looking out the window in class
Tethered forest, so creed
As I fill the test on my desk
Trying not to scream or fall
[Pre-Chorus]
After the lift
There's a gift or curse
There's a curse or gift
It's been so long
That again I'm cold
And I need a sign
That you reel it on
[Chorus]
Cause I can't sleep you off
And I can't turn away
Anything else is child's play
Child's play
Child's play
[Verse 2]
Where to go now
You've left me untamed
With a new face
A new name
What a joke
[?] still go off
Bitter blackmail
[?] and, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
After the lift
There's a gift or curse
There's a curse or gift
It's been so long
That again I'm cold
And I need a sign
That you reel it on
[Chorus]
Cause I can't sleep you off
And I can't turn away
Anything else is child's play
Child's play
(No I can't turn back, can't turn away)
Child's play
(No I can't turn back, can't turn away)
[Bridge]
Fearful after the lift
There's a gift or curse
There's a curse or gift
It's been so long, too long
And I need a sign
That you reel it on
No I can't sleep you off
And I can't turn away
Anything else is child's play
No I can't sleep you off
No I can't turn away
Anything else is child's play
[Outro]
Child's play
Child's play
Child's play
(Is it now or is it never?)
Child's play
Child's play
(Is it now or is it never?)
Child's play
(Is it now or is it never?)
