Lyrics
when our mind died
she found her son
she brought us home
in the bright sky
we heard her song
at the red sign
she saw our face
she stopped a train
on the fine line
she held our head
she touched our head
she brought us home
in a gold mine
her words came down
she held us down
the sister our father knew
the sinister ingénue
and the scarecrow fingers in the light
never learned how to walk okay
and she said that we would someday
come and get it
and the animal battlefield
and we stood where our father kneeled
tipping radio towers in the night
when our feet in the gravel heal
and like regular people feel
come and get it
and the velvet stone on our dress
and our lesbian nakedness
and we’re pouring salt on all our sins
and a hand with three fingers left
and a kind and a gentle death
come and get it
and our cannibal wedding song
and we won’t be alone for long
we’re holding our hand out in the dark
and we’ll signal the working girl
and she’ll pin our tail on the world
come and get it
i can tell when you’re there alone
and we’re counting the chromosomes
and she’ll fold them all up inside her love
she can see you there
i see you there
she sees you there
she can see us
