Rachel Rose Mitchell - Cups

Thank you for coming
Had it been me, I don't know if I would
Anyway, sit!
Let's bury the bad and bring on the good

Play with me for now, I promise
We'll be finished soon
Let's both say our pieces
And you'll be gone before noon

Ring around a rosey,
When did you get so nosey?
Pocket full of ash
And a teacup pull of posey.

Don't change cups
That one's yours, I insist
Have I told you how good
Blue looks on your lips?
Take one sip
Yes that's right, let's get along
Every hurt tastes bitter
If you let it steep too long

Just you wait,
I have a surprise
That'll steal away your breath
All I'll say is
It's enough to
scare you half to.... shhh

You can't follow the leader
With ropes around your feet
You can't follow me either
You're not as quick as me
(You'll never be)

Don't change cups
That one's yours, I insist
Have I told you how good
Blue looks on your lips?
Take one sip
Yes that's right, let's get along
Every hurt tastes bitter
If you let it steep too long

Forgiveness is in vogue,
But I was never one for trends
So long! Farewell! And I
lived happily ever after
Here's the end...

Don't change cups
That one's yours, I insist.
Have I told you how good
Blue looks on your lips?
Take one sip
Yes that's right, let's get along
Every hurt tastes bitter
If you let it steep,
You let it steep too long
