How Do You Solve A Problem Like Bella?
Time drips through my fingers.
Like employment and money, it seems to reject me.
Some kind of madness lingers
After it, I could have, I would have, and I should be
Thankful for the fact that time,
Like some poor excuse for god, is smiling on down
On a poor excuse for a mime
Of a poor excuse for a girl. Why shouldn’t I frown?
Time just smiles in sympathy,
Nothing more. There is no place for a girl that's not
Anything and has nothing to be.
Time drips... drips away.
And is gone.

The Gist Of Things:The little control I ahve on time frustrates me.
I cant get a job, and i cant get money, and i cant get time.
I havent enough time.
but people preach that I should be thankful i have time; they speak as though time was given to me specifically, specially and with thought.
In reality the time I have have is default. Time doesnt run for me, I just ended up in a world where everything needs time. I just got it cause I was here, and I had to have it. There is no choice made about wether, I bella, get time. I didnt earn it, or get given it.
Its just something that I couldnt not have.
The Phrase That Pays:
"time, Like some poor excuse for god": Time has been personified by society almost. They trust in time like the faithful trust in their god/s. Time is but an excuse for a god, however.
"On a poor excuse for a mime Of a poor excuse for a girl": I'm actually nothing but a facade of a person, and an incomplete person at that.
"There is no place for a girl that's not Anything and has nothing to be.": Fairly straightforward. I am nothing and I have nothing to be. Being this way, I haven't a place, a niche in society. Nothing can't belong. In connection to the time notion, there isn't time for me. Nothing can't get its time to shine.
I dunno, but i thought it could be helpful?
