El Burro Lyrics by Orbs

Past Life Regression

2016

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
Suck you till my belly was filled
With love, sweet love, we made like bums on drugs
And we sang "Na-Na-Na-Na-Na-Na"
Like it was the motherfucking 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...
