Flying Fox and the Hunter Gatherers - Ant Eating Matriarch lyrics

[Chorus] Do not try to step around the unpleasantness When she dies they'll cut her open all the way Then they'll put her in the freezer But when they put her in the ground When they put her in the ground She will rise up a new creation [Verse 1] Under your feet love That's where this really happened Down in the dirt and the soil and the clay That's where the dust comes from Down below the city floor Another city's growing up And the image of your rotting matriarchs Deep beneath your feet [Verse 2] What kind of place is this? A temple for broken bodies? Through the walls and the roof and floor Come the mouths of revision These aching cells must be rebuilt Re-ordered for that higher purpose Your flesh will be the bricks Your bricks the city deep beneath your feet [Interlude] [Bridge 1] Ochi chyornye, ochi zhguchie Ochi strastnye i prekrasnye Kak lyublyu ya vas, kak boyus' ya vas Znat' uvidel vas ya ne v dobryi chas Ochi chyornye, ochi plamenny I manyat oni v strany dal'nye Gde tsarit lyubov', gde tsarit pokoi Gde stradan'ya nyet, gde vrazhdy zapryet Ochi chyornye, ochi zhguchie Ochi strastnye i prekrasnye Kak lyublyu ya vas, kak boyus' ya vas Znat' uvidel vas ya ne v dobryi chas [Verse 3] Somewhere there's a muscle at war With the fugal frontier Lay your hand starts Freed from time, freed from age Flow through the battered branches And my palms and fingertips Laid again, re-worked, re-written Never finished Never still [Chorus] And oh, the unpleasantness When she dies they'll cut her open all the way But when they put her in the ground When they put her in the ground She will rise up a new creation [Verse 4] Myriad, beating wings No freedom is the true tempest Mother find a foothold Find a safer place to harbor Find a quiet center And build a-fresh your holy faculties, oh I- [Outro] When I come back from the dust You'll gather up my pieces Keep me, keep me safe inside you Pull me back into the belly Of the earth
