The Spine Song
Cake Bake Betty Lyrics
And you're down for the count
You are dancing with men going around and around
And you're scared, and you're sure
That your spine will dissolve
You will fall to the floor
You will take what you need
And the headaches will come
But at least you can breathe
There's the smoke fills your lungs
We will wait for the day
We'll rejoice when it comes
On your birthday
You woke up
The snow was on the ground
You opened books and peeked inside
They kissed you on your crown
With pins in your fingers
You held yourself up high
The picture peeled the person
They let themselves divide
You arrive at the place
It is not what you want
But it is what you chase
So you don't have to hold
All of the candles that burn on their own
You will steal all the smells
That cut through your nose and excite all your cells
When it's time to escape
You realize you've waited until it's too late
But your birthday inflated
The bones with which you creak
They stole your shoes and then brought you to
The caverns of their teeth
You pleaded, 'Oh kind sir
Please let me say goodbye'
Your soul ripped from your stomach
You gave an awful cry
A cry...
And when I have died
Will you use my spine
To swing from tree to tree in search of
Places pleasing to the eye?
I said
I'm sorry dear
But you don't listen
No you don't listen
You silly little girl
