Lyrics

Now, you be the mother, and
I'll be your fool
I'll hide myself deep inside
Your crimson pool

The muddy water runs
Beneath your folds
You won't let me breathe
You won't let me go

Now, you be the stranger, and
I'll be the white-skinned son
You'll blacken my innocence
With sugar and opium

The children were suffocating
Down in your damp cave
And you were the mother, and
I was the sleeping slave

Protect me from violence
Hold me in your cool lips
You drug me with silence
So I can pretend I exist

Now, you be the only child
I'll suck on your breast
You'll feed me with gasoline
I'll burn my name in your head

Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah
