BODY Lyrics

My legs are tired

And I cannot walk

And now that I've got

A hole in my sock,

My legs are broken

And I am too weak

To pick up my feet

The taste of defeat

It isn't funny

When love is so frail

Until it goes stale

You better get clean

But it's so funny

When men are afraid

Of things they can't change

And things they can't see

Oh, I hate to have a body

All my blood and tendons frail

Oh, I hate to have a body

Always fearful it could fail

Heavy, needy, hungry, bloody

Animal and crisis prone

Oh, I hate to have a body

Wishing I was skin and bone

I tend to like it

When all of my flaws

Are getting scrubbed off

And fall to my feet

It only happens when I'm dozing off

I'm only that way

When I am asleep

Its happening

It's happening again

Its happening

It's happening again

Oh, I hate to have a body

All my blood and tendons frail

Oh, I hate to have a body

Always fearful it could fail

Heavy, needy, hungry, bloody

Animal and crisis prone

Oh, I hate to have a body

Wishing I was skin and bone

Oh, I don't need my head

I don't need my arms

I just need a man who understands it

When I'm gone

I dont need a heart

And I don't need a brain

But I think about it

I'm in love with the pain

But how I love to have a body

Aching, running, limps along

How I love to have a body

Pulling, pushing, walking wrong

Working, freezing, warming up

Animal and not alone

How I know I need this body

In all the different ways it's grown
