Lyrics

Toast and water
Teeth and tongue
Every woman is a little anemic, polemic, dry

Don?t worry, I?m no la llorona
I wouldn?t dream of swallowing your precious salty sea
She?s gonna grow up and be just like me
Doesn?t that just kill you?

Chorus:
But we come from same
Same blood stain
Same copper snake
Why would you need me to say you?re better in some ways?

Yes I drowned my own in a draw
In a flooded memory that dried out, right outta me
An evicted womb in my bloodless heart
With this heartless set of hands choking a song

Repeat Chorus:

Why would you need me to say you?re better?

Bridge 1:
I?d do it all for you little girl
I?d do it all for you but I?m not your mother
Don?t love things that don?t need love (they say)
So tell me who won?t need love
I can?t love what won?t take love
Why won?t you take my love?
Just take my love?. Just take my love?please take my love

Bridge 2:
And if I love, does it make me a good lover?
And if I make love, does it make me a good mother?

Bridge 3:
Tell me what do you know, oh oh ho, that I don?t?
What do you know, oh oh ho, that I don?t?
What do you know, oh oh ho, that I don?t?
Sister tell me what do you know, that I don?t?

No you have no draw anymore
Your gully was cut deep
Did it sever your ties to your favorite child?
Does the song die at the end of the tape? No God please


Repeat chorus:

Why would you need me to say you?re better??
