Lyrics

Thank God we don't get all our hurts at once

That would be a really bad thing

When my baby comes

Thank God we don't get all our olds at one time

Listen to me talking in my hospital gown

When my baby comes

Best thing about this place are the showers

Worst thing is the visiting hours

Hey, careful of the carpet

When my baby comes

They had pistols and they had guns

They threw me on the ground and they emptied into me

I was only fifteen

When my baby comes

Just how long you gonna be, my baby?

Until you come?

Just how long you gonna be, my baby?

Until you come?

She got hands as white as milk

And she weaves a web of spider's silk that glistens

When my baby comes

There is an ancient question behind her eyes

That I can't even begin to describe

(Hey, hey listen, don't do that on the carpet!)

When my baby comes

Does anyone out there, wasted their lives

On booze, and drugs, and husbands, and wives and making money?

When my baby comes

Well they had pistols and they had guns

My skirt above my head I was so much older

When I crawled out from under their mushroom cloud
