I think you used to be a horse, I can see it in your teeth
And I used to be your rider, because I always needed a strong sturdy back
And a handful of mane and to converse, or maybe just listen
I think you used to be El Burro, because I can see it in your shoulders
And I used to be the water, because I always kept you from getting across
Still you'd drink from my breast
The dynamic was sickening, oh how we never change
In this reincarnate life we're still selfish and lame
Did you used to be in love? Say, did you used to be in love?
Because you smell like stale saliva. And did you believe in God?
Because your eyes are fixed on a crack in the sky
Like your patient and waiting for some kind of sign
I think you used to be a wise man, because you smell like an old book!
But then again, you're pretty dumb child!
And if your fingers were pages they're plump and quite new
Like they've never been ripped at the corners for...
Love, sweet love!
Made to music, sweet music
In mud, thick mud
Where we all came from
I don't need to change
To make the same mistakes
(We do it because it's innate
We do it because we can)
I think you used to be a tortoise. The kind you can't bring home to mum
Because you use your exoskeleton like a hotel for scum bags, a 'Lucky-U Inn'
Step right up boys for a peek at some skin!
I think you used to be a bottle. The kind that I couldn't put down
I think I used to know you well, share some tales, listen and smile
While I talked to myself, suck you till my belly was filled with...
Love, sweet love!
We made like b**s on drugs
We'd sing "na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, naaaaaah!"
Like it was the m************ end of the world!
Axe falls cause I lied again
A crack opens, there's light again
Legs open, there's a babies head
Life spills out to try again
Dropped into these bodies, we're expected to succeed
Repeating the same actions and expecting new results
I used to be an optimist. Now I am a liar
I used to be the solution. Now I am the fire!
Repeat!
Repeat!
Repeat!
Repeat!
Repeat!
And I begin again!
And I begin again!
And I begin again!
