Donkey Kosh

Little donkey on my shoulder
And a jackal on my back
I carry these, my children
Keep them safe from attack
Donkey makes it hard to dance
The jackal sings too loud
The donkey cries when it's alone
And the jackal is too proud

Little donkey's getting restless, getting heavier as it grows
And the jackal is so spiteful, keeps biting at my nose

Oh, I'd have a lover, a husband and a child
But the donkey is too jealous
And the jackal is too proud

You ask me why I keep them
And why I love them so
Why they get away with murder
As they grow and grow and grow and grow
I keep them 'cos I made them
They come from within my heart
With each mistake I make, create and tear apart
And when it's time to feed them, before they go to bed
I give them my confessions baked within their bread

Little donkey's getting restless, getting heavier as it grows
And the jackal is so spiteful, its body ate my nose
