Florence and the Machine (Florence + The Machine) - Donkey Kosh lyrics

With a donkey on my shoulder And a jackal on my back I'll carry these, my children Keep them safe from attack The donkey makes it hard to dance, the jackal sings too loud The donkey cries when it's alone, and the jackal is too proud [Chorus] Little donkey is getting restless Getting heavier as it grows And the jackal, spoiled and spiteful Keeps biting at my nose I would have a lover A husband, and a child But the donkey is too jealous And the jackal is too wild You ask me why I keep them Why I love them so Why they get away with murder As they grow and grow and grow, oh I keep them cause I made them They come from in my heart With each mistake I make Created, and torn apart And when it's time to feed them Before they go to bed I give them my confessions Baked within their bread [Chorus]x2 Little donkey is getting restless Getting heavier as it grows And the jackal, spoiled and spiteful Keeps biting at my nose
