Alma Told Me (They Do, You Do)

Alma told me about a tug on the leash
Did I feel it, too?
She said she recognized when I felt the squeeze
And she asked about you

She said we never would have been in the same cages when we came
But when you let us out, and we run in the wild...
It's all the same, it's all the same

But I'm not your bird, I'm not your breed
We see the ghost whenever we wander through the sheets
In sex we painted blue...
What they do, you do

I told you once who was holding the leash, and your face in the dirt
Shining boy, with your hands in the trees; I know that they hurt

We never would have been in the same cages when we came
But when they let us out, and we run in the wild...
It's all the same, it's all the same

But I'm not your bird, I'm not your breed
We see the ghost whenever we wander through the sheets
In sex we painted blue...
What they do, you do

Walking with the creatures
I know what I'll see
People from the mountain don't know the beast like me
I'm the one who works there, I'm on your tv
Can't miss my name
Can't miss my name

But I'm not your bird, I'm not your breed
You need those fools, remember
