Is to be mother just to gain an experience 
Nothing to do with the child 
But a biological urging that has run wild 
And we’re watching little ones bleed to death
On a screen but we forget 
As we bring new babies to this earth
That they are capable of feeling hurt
And I am reminded of a promise I made
Before the sun put me in the shade
That I would never fall to the fallow field
That only knows how to yield 
To a power greater than it
Fertile ground that only ever sit 
In the seed to germinate 
So he asks the girl on a date
And it may be for the masses, it isn’t for me
But I love them so much and they do not see 
As the mattress bows and the bodies writhe 
But they’re ashamed and so they hide 
Their lovemaking under the covers
Because they should never be lovers
According to modern society 
You must do it in the dark or someone will see 
And you’ll go to hell (or something like that)
But I took the baseball bat
And smashed that particular window
Because I don’t believe it’s a sin, though
There is shame and there is expense 
When you do it outside the present tense 
And I may be tantric and I may be yogi 
But I don’t walk with someone that doesn’t know me 
In the depths, not surface tension 
And the only way to make an extension 
Is to know just who you are
But when I saw that boy I saw the star
Burning in his heart and soul 
I was just eighteen years old 
And he six months my junior 
But still 1990 so acceptable sooner 
Than I would have liked
And my courage spiked
As we sat next to each other 
As though the apple had fallen into the hands of a lover 
And we both took a bite 
But it is alright 
Fifteen and a half years later
Though there is a crater
Left by that meteor strike 
I just thought you should know I like 
You in that way
Though what is it that you say 
You don’t got time 
Well, here I have plenty, take some of mine
