Floater - Clean Plastic Baby lyrics

rate me

Oh! What Joy! A child of our own...<br />

Oooh, such a handsome child.<br />

With a fusebox smile.<br />

I think he's trying to speak now.<br />

But he's got nothing to say.<br />

He must have nothing to say.<br />

Nothing, you say? He's all mine.<br />

I cannot hate you. Why should I bother?<br />

I never felt anything anyway.<br />

Dark in the bedroom. Why did you bother?<br />

You never saw each other, you should you see me now?<br />

The child can't do anything right.<br />

Oh, why can't he be like us?<br />

Tell me why?<br />

Clean the mind of this plastic baby.<br />

You set these eyes deep in this face.<br />

I just repeat what you said.<br />

You set this flesh upon these bones.<br />

I just repeat what you said.<br />

I'm through with patience. I'll wait no longer.<br />

You never waited for me anyway.<br />

This thing inside me, it's growing stronger.<br />

It's going to tear. Tear until it sees the light of day.<br />

You set these eyes deep in this face.<br />

Now I just repeat what you said.<br />

You take my flesh and try it on.<br />

You'll just repeat what I said.<br />

Mother, you made me repeat what you said.<br />

I just repeat what you say.<br />

The story you told, still rings in my head.<br />

The young men came down, down to the river,<br />

To wash their hands of the mud.<br />

The young men came down, after the stoning,<br />

To wash their hands of the blood.<br />

See all the young men come down, down to the water,<br />

To wash off the mud. To wash off the blood.<br />

You just repeat what you said.<br />

You mean what you say.<br />

Young women came down, down to the river,<br />

To wash their legs of the blood.<br />

Young women came down, after the birthing,<br />

To wash their legs of the blood.<br />

I saw the women go down, down to the water,<br />

To wash their legs of the blood.<br />

The blood...the blood.<br />

Repeat what you said.<br />

You never mean what you say.<br />

I just repeat what you said.<br />

Keep still child.<br />

I'm washing your insides away.<br />

That's a good boy.<br />

You know we love you.
