I was born choked in a shroud of thick smoke I was born under a cataract from a cataract I was born swimming in that milky aura, yeah I was born in that old stretched out birthsack I'm in But I was born in spring The year Jupiter got its rings Singing, "I will peel free" I've been shaking off a shadow all my life I was born inflamed Shot face-first out the cocked eye of a hurricane And today, still some of that storm surrounds me But I was born in spring And baptized in the kitchen sink And I'ma shake that storm from my frame I've been shaking off a shadow all my life I've been shaking off a shadow all my life Oh, I may be pink when I come out my skin Oh, I may come out a broken yolk I may come out on saddle Ooh, yeah Yeah, I was born in spring Anointed in kerosene I might yet take flame I've been shaking off a shadow all my life I've been shaking off a shadow all my life And I'll crawl loose Yes, I intend to claw loose I'll crawl loose I'll claw loose Yoni, we're on our own
