Orbs - El Burro lyrics

I think you used to be a horse I can see it in your teeth And I used to be your 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 breast The dynamic was sickening How we never change In this reincarnate life We're still selfish and lame, lame, lame 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, made to music, sweet music In mud, thick mud, where we all came from And I don't need to change to make the same mistakes And we do it cause its innate We do it because we can (What are you? What are you?) I think you used to be tortoise The kind you can't bring home to mom Because you use your exoskeleton like A hotel for scum bags, a Lucky-U Inn Step right up boys for a peek at some skin I think you used to be a bottle The kind that I couldn't put down I think I used to know you well, share some tales Listen and smile while I talk to myself s** you till my belly was filled With love, sweet love, we made like bums on d** And we sang "Na-Na-Na-Na-Na-Na" Like it was the motherf**ing end of the world Axe falls because I lied again A crack opens there's light again Legs open there's a babies head Life spills out to try again Dropped into this body, expected to succeed Repeating the same actions, expecting new results I used to be an optimist, now I am a liar (Dropped into these bodies and expected to succeed) I used to be a solution, now I am the fire! (Repeating the same actions and expecting new results) Repeat! Repeat! Repeat! Repeat! And I begin again...
