Like Being Born (feat. Beck)

My father promised me roses My mother promised me storms My father taught me to use my mind My mother taught me scorn He touches me lightly with his hand It feels like being born It feels like being born It feels like being born My father promised me green trees My mother promised me stars I hardly see the love I have It all goes by so fast He kisses me gently with his lips It's near, what once was far It's near, what once was far It's near, what once was far My father promised me roses My mother promised me thorns My father taught me to use my mind My mother taught me scorn He touches me lightly with his hand It feels like being born It feels like being born It feels like being born
