Pietã Lyrics - St. Vincent

Baptized in the shallow end 

Of a Holiday Inn 

Limbs dangled over my Pa 

Like an inverse Pietà

Mother Nature cried 

"You are Leviathan, my child 

You are Leviathan inside" 

And my lungs runneth over 

With chlorinated water 

And I pleaded with my Pa 

But he said, “I can’t carry you no more”

Mother Nature cried 

"You are Leviathan, my child 

You are Leviathan Inside" 

Mother Nature sighed 

“What hell is this I made this time? 

You are Leviathan inside” 

Can I make a pet of you? 

Dress you up for all the girls 

Will I keep you begging now 

Or touch you with my gentle words?
