Your mother made you cry when she told you about the womb

And how people die.

Watching over you when you were young smiling as you learned

to crawl. You don’t know her at all.

It’s a dirty job but they’re very suave
FA DO MI LAm
Jesus high on wine drinking turpentine

Daddy’s voice like an intercom connected to a hidden room
SOL MI LAm
Were yellow roses bloom

A sacred mountain near Peterborough where clouds paint a

picture so calm that they swallowed mom.
(Chorus)
LAm FA DO MI LAm
It’s a dirty job but they’re very suave
FA DO MI REm
Jesus high on wine weeping turpentine

And they’ll break your will.
