White man living in a white man's world
Doesn't mean that you're unkind
It just means that you got to find
And cross over that borderline
Naked mole rat out in the light
Living in eternal night
Still can feel the heat of the sun
'cause it reaches into everyone, even the blind
Now it's no sickness it's no sin
What turns me on and caves me in
And even if it's you I objectify
I won't give you no reason to condemn
I know how to behave myself
I gotta stay out of power and cover the well
I gotta wrap my soul around my tail
Like an octopus around a whale
I won't let it eat me
Now the time has come for me to grow
Now I know I cannot take these liberties like before
I remember how you trembled
Your naked body on the floor
Somebody showed me something
I'll never be the same again
Coming out of my body, like the black bile out of the earth
Like the black bile out of the angel, so good it hurts
All he wants to do is stop it, all he wants to do is turn
But he cannot pull the lever, the temptation how it burns
And the moment that he triumphs is the moment that he falls
And the baby on the altar is the guiltiest of all
And the god smiles on him, 'cause he wants his child to fail
And the god it smiles on us and we're gonna kill the whale
And you cover up my mouth and you cover up my light
And you cover all the things that you've been trying to hide behind
