I think you used to be a horse
I can see it in your teeth
And I used to be a rider
'Cause I always needed a strong sturdy back
And a handful of mane and to converse
Or maybe just listen
I think you used to be el burro
'Cause I can see it in your shoulders
And I used to be the water
'Cause I always kept you from getting across
Still you drink from my breasts
The dynamic was sickening
How we never change
In this reincarnate life
Still selfish and lame, lame, lame
♪
Yeah, did you used to be in love?
Say, did you used to be in love?
Because you smell like stale saliva
And did you believe in God?
Because
Your eyes are fixed on a crack in the sky
Like you're patient and waiting for some kind of sign
I think you used to be a wise man
Because you smell like an old book
But, then again you're pretty dumb, child
If your fingers are pages, they're plump and quite new
Like they've never been ripped at the corners for love, sweet love
Make some music, sweet music
In mud, thick mud
Where we all get love
♪
And I don't need to change
To make the same mistakes
'Cause we do it 'cause it's innate
And we do it 'cause we can
(What are you)
I think you used to be a tortoise (what are you)
The kind you can't bring home to mom (what are you)
Because you use your exoskeleton (what are you)
Like
A hotel for scum bags, how lucky you met us (what are you)
Step right up boys for a peek at some skin (what are you)
I think you used to be a bottle (what are you)
The kind that I can't live without (what are you)
I think I used to know you well, share some tales (what are you)
Listen and smile while I talk to myself (what are you)
Suck you 'til my belly was filled
With love, sweet love
We made like bums on drugs
And we sing yeah, yeah
Like it was the motherfucking end of the world
♪
Axe falls 'cause I lied again
Crack opens, there's light again
Legs open, there's a babies head
Life spills out to try again
Dropped into this body
Expecting to succeed
Repeating the same actions
Expecting new results
I used to be an optimist
Now I am a liar
I used to be a solution
Now I am the fire
Repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat
Repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat
Repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat
Repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat
And I begin again
And I begin again
And I begin again
