you are my grandfather's son and for that reason I need you near
oooooh
and on my insides I am haggard and on some insides there are vultures
if they begin to ravage your love don't cower or run for cover
don't feel bad you've gotta drown or smother them
oooooh
and I can't say whether I believe hearts are cultured
I can't say whether I care or whether it matters
maybe hearts are better, better bitter, battered, filthy, vulgar
maybe that's why the broken lonely ones they hold on a little longer
oooooh
and all I know, all I know
all I know, all I know
all I know, all I know
is I wanna see you, I wanna see you
I wanna see you, I wanna see you
and I wanna see you, I wanna see you
see all those countries
and maybe I'm my own mother and I will always take care of my brother
but you are my family now too
and how I loved you then and how I will and how I do, how I do
oooooh
