lyrics

They usually went to church on Sundays, to pray on Sundays,
but then she forced him to lie in bed;
he couldn’t read the Bible at Sunday mass.
She forced him to take the newspapers out the door stark naked.
In winter they used to jerk off together,
'cause he didn't want to see her cry at dinner.
Every year in March, he watched her taking blood samples every day.
“She reminds me of a hopeless case, be careful, take care of her!”
said a doctor confidently, then he ran away, making the sign of the cross.
“You are a blood red bird on my mind.
You are one of the ants that fill my mouth.
Why do you hate me?”.
“You already know,
it's too late to tell you everything now.
I mean, I'm not here to discuss.
Moreover, you didn't even know...
When there's a heavy overcast sky.
I lose control. I lose my mind.
You've always preferred payments in kind.
I don't know why, I'm your wife”.
