lyrics

Split myself, I was told that is what they like
for my work I have seen delight
Thank Heavens, thank gods I’m a lucky one
you are a bird, you are a burden
Now I’m made of fire, burning up
the others are all made of mud
I see em from a great height
I am the only one in the sky
Bind the head, wet skirt, boat her body
Stay calm but I can’t, he’s sitting on my feet
Bind the head, wet skirt, boat body
Stay calm but I can’t, not sitting on his knee
Now I’m made of fire, burning uo
She is safe below made of mud
She would look me full in face and string me up in your place
And string me up in your place
And if I was the wicked, I was the wicked one
Devil to see, mercy me
If I was the dumb, I was the dumb one
Hands over eyes, as you like
If I was no one, I was no one
Devil in the tree, his eyes on me
If I was the dumb, I was the dumb one
Devil to see, hush my tongue
Bind the head and the hands, out into the sea
Stay calm but I can’t, you have ruined that for me
Bind the head and the hands, throw it out to sea
Stay calm but I can’t, you have ruined me
Now I’m made of fire, burning up
They are below made of mud
Heads turned in glory
No one is looking for me
No one is looking for me
No one is looking for me
No one is looking for me
