So it started in your ovaries
|
A stone, a seedling
|
Our bones entwined
|
A warning from the orderlies
|
A bulge for bleeding
|
This will take it's time
|
|
So it all ran down the telephone
|
And saw me clearly
|
Only nine years old
|
Calmly cast in styrofoam
|
In my Tony Lamas
|
When the shock takes hold
|
|
Mom, there are hurdles here
|
That I cannot seem to clear
|
Dad, there are demons around
|
And though I said that I
|
Said IĄŻd be all right, I lied
|
I lied
|
I lied
|
I lied
|
|
So fix your brood and belly now
|
Get your fingers wringing
|
Get your loins unstained
|
ItĄŻll eat you from the inside out
|
Until it comes out screaming
|
Until it all falls away
|
|
Dad, there are hurdles here
|
That I cannot seem to clear
|
Mom, there are demons around
|
And though I said that I
|
Said IĄŻd be all right, I lied
|
I lied
|
I lied
|
I lied
|
