Fatal Flowers - How Many Years lyrics

Remember the time when you were such a pretty little girl Now you and all your friends, you wanna rule the whole world Well let me tell you baby, I liked you just the way you were Without all your power and your diamonds and your pearls How many years will it take you to see That all of your dreams have been washed down the sea Alone and confused and a long way from home Chasing rainbows that are already gone You were only sixteen when you left home With a suitcase full of dreams Now what have we got, a bitter old lady With a briefcase full of schemes You party in Spain, you're dancin' in China You're all over the Middle East But back home lady, your sons are dyin' in the streets Push your luck, use your charms Spend a little money, do a little harm There are tears in your eyes baby, at the right time
