Public Bodies - Girl Friday

Does the average man feel like he’s on the outside?

I’ve got a friend who said he’d kill to taste the high life

At the church, they kicked us out 'cause we were useless

But we were trying, just looking for something to reach us

Eight more days in this goddamn place and I’m leaving

When I say I’m in pain, they don’t believe it

All these bodies 'round here seem to be aging too fast

If you want your independence, then you trade your health for cash

I’m afraid of everything that’s passed

All these bodies 'round here have been spat out the machine

Smoke on lungs and gas stations, spit fire by the sea

And everyone’s saying I’m a little bit sick, but I’m just thinking of you

Like I do

Does the average man fall down talking to strangers?

I’ve got a friend who said he lives to taste the danger

Lying on the bed, mama, kiss my head, they’re gonna take me away from here

All these bodies 'round here seem to be aging too fast

If you want your independence, then you trade your health for cash

I’m afraid of everything that’s passed

All these bodies 'round here have been spat out the machine

Smoke on lungs and gas stations, spit fire by the sea

And everyone’s saying I’m a little bit sick, but I’m just thinking of you

Like I do

Let her be her mother’s only daughter

Let her put her head under the water

Let her sweat the sickness off her palms

Let her take the jewelry off her arms

Let her be her mother’s only daughter (Let her sweat the sickness off her palms)

Let her put her head under the water (Let her take the jewelry off her arms)

Let her sweat the sickness off her palms (Let her be her mother’s only daughter)

Let her take the jewelry off her arms
