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?
