08 - MOTHERAD

Night falls over the city like a cloak of invisibility
Wrapping around me, wrapping me round
It's penetrating, it's reaching down, down, down, down
It's grabbing my genes and it's twisting, it's twisting

I can't see you, but I know you're there
You're the one who's nursed the human race for centuries, for centuries
I want to leave you, I can't wait to run away
You had your chance, you twisted me
But you didn't win

Win
You didn't win

You think that I can't live outside you
You surrounded everything with safety
But I won't eat your food, I won't drink your milk
I want to grow old and cold and lonely
As long as you don't win

Win
You didn't win
