Lyrics

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 I'd 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 It'll 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 I'd be all right, I lied I lied I lied I lied
