I used to be a son of a bitch,
but my mother's quit working.
She said she couldn't get a lover,
but they won't love you more because now you'll make it for free.
She went home and never let me come in.
The winter is longer outside.
There was a spider in the basement.
There I learned to see what I just want to see.
And in the middle of the night
I joined my hands, no matter why.
And in the middle of the night you may see me giving birth.
You may see me giving birth.
My babies were all born dead
'cause I have made them all alone.
But I have given each one of them a grave
behind a see saw,
in front of a cherry tree.
And in the middle of the night
I joined my hands, no matter why.
And in the middle of the night you may see me giving birth.
You may see me giving birth.
You may see me giving birth.
but my mother's quit working.
She said she couldn't get a lover,
but they won't love you more because now you'll make it for free.
The winter is longer outside.
There was a spider in the basement.
There I learned to see what I just want to see.
I joined my hands, no matter why.
And in the middle of the night you may see me giving birth.
You may see me giving birth.
'cause I have made them all alone.
But I have given each one of them a grave
behind a see saw,
in front of a cherry tree.
I joined my hands, no matter why.
And in the middle of the night you may see me giving birth.
You may see me giving birth.
You may see me giving birth.

" ... human beings are not born once and for all on the day their mothers give birth to them, but that life obliges them over and over again to give birth to themselves."(Love in the Time of Cholera) Gabriel GarcÃa Márquez
I found this quote today and it just fits perfectly with this song (:
