Us Ones in Between

You are a waterfall

Waiting inside a well

You are a wrecking ball

Before the building fell

And every lightning rod

Has got to watch the storm cloud come.

And I've heard of pious men

And I've heard of dirty fiends

But you don't often hear

Of us ones in between

And I've heard of creatures

Who eat their babies;

And I wonder if they stop

To think about the taste.

I saw the sun go down

Outside of Arkansas;

And I saw the sun come up

Somewhere in Illinois.

And in the darkness

I taught myself to hate.

But where were you, oh where were you?

And where the fuck did the sun go?

And I am a creature.

And I am survivin'.

And I want to be alone

But I want your body.

So when you eat me,

Mother and baby,

Oh baby, mother me,

Before you eat me.

And you should always pass

When you get the inside lane.

Don't pull your hair out;

I won't pull my hair out.

For I have never seen the sun

That did not bury his fears in the side of the world.

And the day is done.

You are a waterfall

Waiting inside a well

You are a wrecking ball

Before the building fell

And I will mutter like a lover

Who speaks in tongues, oh he speaks in tongues.

Oh I speak in tongues.

(She's your mother; she's got a lovely tongue.)
