I pulled my hands out of your hand
I said
"I'm sorry to begin again
I'm leaving you for a man
Frying chicken all day long
Your hair smells of grease
I bathe with you
I stink of it too
Drain the water please"
Da la la...
With dirt under my fingernails
I crawl out of the swamp
A bear trap closed on my legs
So I gnawed my foot off
Mosquitos have been feasting on what's left of my legs
I used to swat at them
But gave up after a day
Da la la la....
The pavement burnt my torso
As my arms dragged me home
What's hungry in my blackened skin
Needed in of my own
One foot left
The toenail scraping harshly as I slither
I scratch at your door frame
And you're hear and come hither
Da la la la....
You let me
Licked me clean
And fed me what you could
I'd stay happily and posses
Your body, mind and home
One foot left
The toenail scrapin' harshly as I slither
I find it and to hide in and go live in
Da la la la....
