Dangerous You Shouldn't Be Here Lyrics - Xiu Xiu

a witch has come from under the ocean 

and with a pointed and sharp finger 

snatched my baby by the crook of her jaw 

and hooked her breath away 

and bloated and cut her soft, 

dearest skin and face 

her hair has gone from black to green 

she used to complain when I used 

too much water to wash her hair 

I can't imagine what it was like for her 

to have died swallowing the sea 

I want to pause and offer 

your lonely grave farewell but it is covered in mud 

it is nowhere there is no way 

to light an altar for you 

everything is too wet 

tight around my neck 

tie me with this rotten wire 

that snaps its quiet snap 

I've poured my life into this world and here I am
