Now you be the mother and I'll be your fool
I'll hide myself deep inside your crimson pool
The muddy water runs beneath your folds
You won't let me breathe, you won't let me go
Now you'll be the stranger and I'll be the white-skinned son
You'll blacken my innocence with sugar and opium
The children were suffocating down in your damp cave
And you were the mother and I was a sleeping slave
Protect me from violence, hold me in your cool lips
You'll drug me with kindness so I can pretend I exist
Now you be the only child, I'll suck on your breast
You'll feed me with gasoline, I'll burn my name in your head
