Thank God we don't get all our hurts at once

That would be a really bad thing

When my baby comes

Thank God we don't get all our olds at one time

(Listen to me talking in my hospital gown!)

When my baby comes

Best thing about this place are the showers

Worst thing is the visiting hours

(Hey, careful of the carpet!)

When my baby comes

They had pistols and they had guns

They threw me on the ground as they entered into me

(I was only fifteen!)

When my baby comes



Just how long you gonna be, my baby?

Until you come?



She got hands as white as milk

And weaves a web of spider's silk that glistens

When my baby comes

There is an ancient question behind her eyes

That I can't even begin to describe

(Hey, don't do that on the carpet!)

When my baby comes

Is there anyone out there wasted their lives?

On booze drugs husbands wives and making money?

When my baby comes

They had pistols and they had guns

My skirt above my head I was so much older

When I crawled out from their mushroom cloud

When my baby comes



Just how long you gonna be, my baby?

Until you come?



When she come?

When she come?
