Hurdles Even Here Lyrics - Decemberists

So it started in your ovaries 

A stone, a seedling 

Our bones entwined 

A warning from the orderlies 

A bulge for bleeding 

This will take it's time 

So it all ran down the telephone 

And saw me clearly 

Only nine years old 

Calmly cast in styrofoam 

In my Tony Lamas 

When the shock takes hold

Mom, there are hurdles here 

That I cannot seem to clear 

Dad, there are demons around 

And though I said that I 

Said I'd be all right, I lied 

I lied 

I lied 

I lied 

So fix your brood and belly now 

Get your fingers wringing 

Get your loins unstained 

It'll eat you from the inside out 

Until it comes out screaming 

Until it all falls away

Dad, there are hurdles here 

That I cannot seem to clear 

Mom, there are demons around 

And though I said that I 

Said I'd be all right, I lied 

I lied 

I lied
