oh woman

verse 2
i was born with shoes and a long sleeve shirt
straight into the barn where the hoof prints hurt
but i was twelve years old before i said a dirty word
oh woman

verse 3
i drink my coffee straight from the tap
no cream no sugar i take it black
no bread no wine he can have it back
oh woman

verse 4
i was dreaming about the time i caught a nasty influenza
my head was hot and melting causing mass hallucinations
there were people on the ceiling screaming lead in wrong directions
oh woman

verse 5
youre a woman thats what you say
i say you work in mysterious ways
i scream your name in vain they say
oh woman

verse 6
i was born with boots and a half hidden tail
with a sprout of mistletoe peaking through the scales
i was 21 before i spent the sabbath in jail
oh woman

verse 7
i drink my koolaid down like poison
raise my glass to all the other children
with his blood well meet our mothers in heaven
oh woman

verse 8
i was killing every brain cell with a cleaner for the kitchen
in the hopes id be too blind to see the depth of my depression
somebody saved my life posed as a kitchen cleaner salesman
oh woman

verse 9
youre a woman thats what you say
i say you work in mysterious ways
one look at you and ive turned gray
oh woman

verse 10
i was born with cleats and a pocketknife
i traded my cleats for a secondhand wife
i traded true love for eternal life
oh woman

verse 11
i drink my whiskey straight from the source
it blows my brain and it rips my voice
but id drown in that river if i had the choice
oh woman

verse 12
i was killing every brain cell with a paper bag addiction
the vapors of adhesion take away my dark condition
i danced across the ceiling without shame or inhibition
oh woman
