Fire me in an oven Until I go hard enough To deal with losing you I'm tired of thinking of you Each and every minute I see Something I know that you'd love We're all made of glass All made of glass Cheating ourselves to believe we'll be last Like a fool, I thought it was true I was holding your flowers If only you knew A diary fills it's pages With one eye on the clock How long?, how long? Have we got Until we're everything we ought to be-eeeeeeee Terrified, while the picture of dignity Come eat with me, at the table of this life All made of glass All made of glass Yes, we're all made of glass all made of glass cheating ourselves to believe we'll be last Like a fool, I thought it was true I was holding your flowers If only you knew If only you knew
