Pieta Lyrics by St. Vincent

St. Vincent (Deluxe Edition)

2014

[Verse 1]
Baptized in the shallow end
Of a Holiday Inn
Limbs dangled over my Pa
Like an inverse Pietà

[Chorus]
Mother Nature cried
"You are Leviathan, my child
You are Leviathan inside"

[Verse 2]
And my lungs runneth over
With chlorinated water
And I pleaded with my Pa
But he said, “I can’t carry you no more”

[Chorus]
Mother Nature cried
"You are Leviathan, my child
You are Leviathan inside"
Mother Nature sighed
"What hell is this I made this time?
You are Leviathan in size"

[Verse 3]
Can I make a pet of you?
Dress you up for all the girls
Will I keep you begging now
Or touch you with my gentle words?

[Chorus]
Mother Nature cried
"You are Leviathan, my child
You are Leviathan inside"
Mother Nature sighed
"What hell is this I made this time?
You are Leviathan in size"
