lyrics

Let marrow be put together with marrow
Let bone be put together with bone
Whatever of the flesh has fallen apart, fallen apart
Well, just gotta let it grow*

And that's what you taught me
Well, that and the wine
Such a helpful anesthesia
I'm anesthetized all the time

And I'm taking my pulse
I'm checking my tongue
Touch myself all over
I don't know what is wrong

I don't know where it hurts
I don't know where it hurts
I know it hurts real bad
But I don't know where it hurts
I don't know where it hurts

And I am a doctor
That is to say, I am a priest
I'm praying to my body
Begging it please, begging it please to
Stop choosing how to feel for me

And I got my cinnamon
My roots and my seeds
I chew the bark till my spit runs red
And I smell so sweet

And I'm taking my pulse
I'm checking my tongue
Touch myself all over
I don't know what is wrong

I don't know where it hurts
I don't know where it hurts
I know it hurts real bad
But I don't know where it hurts
I don't know where it hurts

Put your head against my chest
Tell me if you think I'm breathing good

Put your head against my chest
Tell me if you think I'm breathing good

Because I don't know where it hurts
I don't know where it-

*These lines inspired by text from the Atharvaveda
