Nursery Crimes
How I love to hate the morning sun and the cheerful voices as they come to erase my dreams with sordid smilesHow I love to hate the things I've done, and to love the things that make me numbUsing earnest words for empty linesHow I'd love to break their telescopesGirl, you'll go so far, I hope, but all those stars are just a jokeHow I'd love to feel the love I fake and make love to things I hateMy future's bright, behind me
See the dangling puppet, hanging in the corner, dancing on the borders of my empty stageAs one toy soldier gives the order, the puppet lands, and I'll never, ever wake again
How I hate to love when others danceTake a chance, they romanceTheir hearts beat, one by oneHow I hate the words, "Let's have fun," "You're the one"I can only wonder, when it's ever doneHow I hate to love playing dumb, none for all, all for funOpen arms and itchy thumbsHow I hate to love the ones I love, love to hate myself so muchLove to hate me when I love
