Uncle Wonderful |
| My lips are cold. |
| My heart is flame |
| My hips are old. |
| My kiss is pain |
| My father took me one too many times |
| No mother I’ll be to any of his kind |
| For kindness is the flesh on flesh |
| They call me «Crazy» |
| 'Cause there’s no one else to blame |
| Crazy, full of fantasies and shame |
| So I’m crazy as a bedbug in June? |
| What’s a girl to do? |
| What’s a girl to do? |
| My eyes invite the calloused mind |
| My thighs excite like newly-ripened wine |
| I take their lust and I swallow fast |
| They rape the dust of my body’s past |
| For passion is the time after time |
| They call me «Hey, baby!» |
| And spill their naked seed |
| «Hey baby, don’t you save a little bit for me?» |
| So I’m savior and mother to the breed? |
| What’s a girl to be |
| What’s a girl to be |
| Those little girls with their tongues on fire |
| That child’s world full of innocent desire |
| I never touch them but to photograph the dream |
| Those lonely children never feel alone with me |
| For loneliness is mother to my need |
| They call me «Uncle wonderful» |
| Uncle wonderful… |
| The wonder’s in the splendor of their youth |
| What’s a girl to do? |
| What’s a girl to do? |
| I lock you in just to shut you out |
| No love begins, there’s no love to doubt |
| I offer life without pain or need |
| I murdered mine, and I threw away the key |
| Now I’ve forgotten how to breath |
| They call me «Normal» |
| Normal… |
| I am the institution of private destiny |
| I offer a solution — anesthesia’s ecstasy |
| They call me free |
