Tears for Animals Songtext

von CocoRosie

[Hook] 3 x
Do you have love for humankind?

Heart so hollow I tried to swallow
Pistols, nightshade, ghosts and gallow
All you fellows climb me like a staircase, wore me down
Smooth from footfall, wore me down
(wore me down)

[Hook] 4x

So long sweet thing, my old man,
Left me grieving, black and blue and tan
I've the feeling you'll be kneeling
When the day turns forever into night

Hope for healing if you're willing

[Hook] 4x

Orphan Girl, child, sing along
Stop the slaughter of our daughters
Poisoning the water
Heart strings broken,
Wearily tuned to the moon
Bastard widows born marooned
Nameless, faceless black-eyed soul
Slave to sorrow, find your way home

[Hook] 5x
(Hope for healing if you're willing)
[Hook]
