You know the song I whisper to myself in the night For I myself sang it to you and I myself let you Crawl into my bed of despair Of desperation and You rolled about Slept in it and Immersed yourself in the nakedness of my being and I was a wilting flower A **** But you didn't care You pressed your Jewish face, hands and tenderness Took in my stubborn scent You made me feel like a rose Your voice always sounds scared and nervous and   Agitated It is precious because it can change a universe You’re intelligent but My name is toxic in your mouth you know Saying it kills you It's thick vowels are murderous Mixing with the mourning of a Genetically inherited pollutant elsewhere Deep in your throat hidden and hushed Your mother tongue drowns weeping at your rejection of her My name and her sobs don’t mix well She behaves like acid rain Killing the flowers in your heart and I don’t feel like a rose in that place anymore I feel like I'm a **** again and I just Want to go home

You know the song I whisper to myself in the night For I myself sang it to you and I myself let you Crawl into my bed of despair Of desperation and You rolled about Slept in it and Immersed yourself in the nakedness of my being and I was a wilting flower A **** But you didn't care You pressed your Jewish face, hands and tenderness Took in my stubborn scent You made me feel like a rose Your voice always sounds scared and nervous and   Agitated It is precious because it can change a universe You’re intelligent but My name is toxic in your mouth you know Saying it kills you It's thick vowels are murderous Mixing with the mourning of a Genetically inherited pollutant elsewhere Deep in your throat hidden and hushed Your mother tongue drowns weeping at your rejection of her My name and her sobs don’t mix well She behaves like acid rain Killing the flowers in your heart and I don’t feel like a rose in that place anymore I feel like I'm a **** again and I just Want to go home
