Birthmark Lyrics

Birthmark lyrics

She'll only be a minute 

Just going through her hair 

There's gonna
be a wedding 

Wish I could be there 

But then again: why should I
be alone 



Her first man was a sadist 

Who drank her tears
like wine 

Until she mixed his coffee 

With something alkaline 

She left him at the table 

And slammed the door 



My
ancestors have let me down 

I asked for fame in every town 

All
along they wear me out 

Our ancestors 



Only be a minute 

Going through her hair 

I watched another wedding 

I watched
until I cried 

Over all the loved ones, men and wives 



My
ancestors have let me down 

I asked for fame in every town 

All
along they wear me out 

Our ancestors have let me down 

I asked for
fame in every town 

All along they wear me out 

My ancestors 

Down, down, down
