An Ode to the Chair

Born on the day that the sun went black
Screaming inside her hot wet sack
(Born the day the sun went black)
The doula met her eye and then turned to the rack
(She turned the sun goes black)
Then came the hand that would drag her back

Into the chair it's a hard hard life
The cesarean was done with a butter knife
(In the chair a hard ol' life)
She grew to love the wheels and the cold cold frame
(She loves the wheels and the frame)
She found her vice, to kill and to mame

(I won't be bound by, I won't be drowned by,
Not by these wheels that make a jury turn a blind eye)

Shadenfreude into the void

With every solemn push, the wheelchair bites
The gravel wears thin as the fields are close by
There's a sound in the barn (oh no what could it be)
That was the day she watched the farmer die

(I won't be bound by, I won't be drowned by,
Not by these wheels that make a jury turn a blind eye)

There is a man who knows the reason why, I am
The way I am the way I am
(A crippled shell, fisted from hell)
His finger nails they broke around the rope that night
(Dead dead dead dead dead)
I laughed I cried, I laughed I cried

I laughed I cried, I laughed I cried
I laughed he died

Pull back!
Pull back!
Pull back!
Pull back!

As colloquialism goes, I'm an honest young girl
A star, a star, a star that never shined, but with a set of pearls
No one think I know, that they know, that they're laughing at me
The girl who would gladly shave their teeth

Swinging on a rope, in the hopes that you choke or you drown
A star that never shined, keep in mind, I'll be guiding you down
He's buried six feet under

Hey, hey you
Yeah you with the fucking cordless headphones
The day I was born I knew my fingers were bad
Nails first I crawled into the mouth of my dad
His stomach was hot and the lunch was free
I clawed on his ribs and I entered out of his dead arse
123!

Swinging on a rope, in the hopes that you choke or you drown
A star that never shined, keep in mind, I'll be guiding you down
He's buried six feet under

There's an evil round here and I know it's me
I said there's an evil and I know it's me!
Born this way
Well, you know born?
And left to fucking breathe

I hope you never hear my wheels come by,
Because I'll enter you mind, and I'll never leave

(I won't be bound by, I won't be drowned by,
Not by these wheels that make a jury turn a blind eye)

The swing of the rope gives me little reprieve
It's the fact that I know, his family will grieve
I watched him die, he's the only one left
And no one suspects
A girl with no legs

There is a man who knows the reason why, I am
The way I am the way I am
(Grieve grieve) (the swing of the rope)
His finger nails they broke around the rope that night
(Dead dead dead dead dead)
I laughed I cried I laughed I cried
YAK!
YAK!
