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 the 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
