She once was 17 but she never fell in love
'Cause she never felt the same
Like the other ones at school
Like all the other boys and girls around
She never felt the same

Misery - talk to me - misery
Youth and greed - walk with me - youth and greed

Now she's 33 but there isn't anything
That really changed in her life
Not a moment, not a while
She is married, bore a child
Growing old, growing older all the time
And she cries

A whining sound slips from her mouth
Trapped in here and no way out
No way out

Misery - talk to me - misery
Youth and greed - walk with me - youth and greed

Wait a while - wait a while
Mommy's pills will bring you to the other side
Wait a while

Wait a while - wait a while
Daddy's razor-blades will make you feel so fine
Wait a while

And the rhythm beats loud and clear
Deep in my heart endlessly
Misery - talk to me
And the rhythm beats in her heart
Beating louder constantly
A whining sound slips from her mouth
Trapped in here and no way out
