Brittle Lyrics by Sidi Bou Said

Bodies

0

Built like twisted rope bound round my body and me
Built like twisted rope bound round my body and me
And the click of my bones and the rhythm with which I start up from the floor
And the click of my bones and the rhythm with which I start up from the floor
Built like twisted rope bound round my body and me
Built like twisted rope bound round my body and me
(And the click of my bones and the rhythm with which I start up from the floor)
Built like twisted rope bound round my body and me
(And the click of my bones and the rhythm with which I start up from the floor)
Built like twisted rope bound round my body and me
Fibre in my bones are brittle crack, and my body grows
(Fibre in my bones are brittle crack, and my body grows, old to the tune, like a machine)
Old to the clockwork strain of my own tune which ticks
Like a machine, like clockwork, like clockwork
I am pumping out (out)
And pushing out (out)
I churn my fluids about
Built like twisted rope bound round my body and me
(And the click of my bones and the rhythm with which I start up from the floor)
Built like twisted rope bound round my body and me
Built like twisted rope bound round my body and me
(And the click of my bones and the rhythm with which I start up from the floor)
Built like twisted rope bound round my body and me
I am so constricted by my rope I am ground down
(I am so constricted by my rope I am ground down, to a pulp, I can hardly stand)
To a pulp until I feel so weary I can hardly stand
To look you in the eye, in your eye, in your eye
I am pumping out (out)
And pushing out (out)
I churn my fluids about
(I am)
I make my own life
(I am)
My own mess and movement
(I am)
I would be ugly dead
(I am)
I am dead ugly
I shake too much
I feel too hard and brittle
I shake too much
I feel too hard and brittle
I shake too much
I feel too hard and brittle
I shake too much
I feel too hard and brittle
When I get fine my frame will sport a set of go faster stripes
Move my body
Move my body
Move my body
Move my body
Move my body
Move my body
Move my body
Move my body
Move my body
Move my body
Move my body
Move my body
Move my body
Move my body
Move my body
Move my body
Move my body
