Babay
The Blow Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

babay
and i thank my lucky stars everyday for indoor plumbing
cause i know nobody knows where i'd have ended up without it
caught a bit of my fur in your teeth, and you ate me
as i went sliding down your throat they heard my cry resound:
i will always be around.
i thought that i would always be around.
babay
but inside your digestive trip
what was there for me to grip?
i wanted nothing more than just to stay there
the truth is i was just too dumb
to stop myself from holding on.
i believed in love.

ooh.
the truth is i was just so dumb
i mistook your refuse for love
clinging in the bowels as the shits poured on
i might've stayed on but the gravity released me
and out, out i dropped




and now here i lay steaming.
babay.
