lyrics

Daughter-in-law:
call me a weapon, and I'll be the worst kind: a
xenobiote –
closer encounters than even the third kind.
I'm just like you, I guess:
Hosting the flesh in me

Why's it so hard to believe that you're older now,
and it's over now? in your
Korean carnation-print apron, you spawn again,
in the kitchen sharpening a knife
That was another life,
and your name
just somebody else's name

and now you're changed.

Son-in-law:
call it deception, and I'll pull the wool down and
parade you around,
giving the lie to your tossing of us to the ground
I'm just like you, I guess:
fled from the rest of me.

I know it's hard to believe that you're older now,
but it's over now, in your
Korean Carhartt imitation, you spawn again
in this dark dive, looking for a friend –
we both know how this'll end;
I've seen that face
on somebody else's face my age

HISTORY'S WRITTEN IN YOUR BODY, IF NOT IN YOUR MIND
GUESS YOU THINK YOU'LL ERASE HISTORY,
ONE BODY AT A TIME

(lovin is ruff)
(tuff ain't enuff)

(repeat refrain)
