[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Mom, there are hurdles here
That I cannot seem to clear
Dad, there are demons 'round
I know I said that I
Said I'd be all right, I lied
I lied
I lied
I lied
[Verse 2]
So fix your brood and belly now
Til your sinews sweeten
And your veins retire
It'll eat you from the inside out
Until it comes out screaming
Until it all falls away
[Chorus]
Dad, there are hurdles here
That I cannot seem to clear
Mom, there are demons 'round
And though I said that I
Said I'd be all right, I lied
I lied
I lied
I lied
