Portugal. The Man Lyrics

9. Children

Birth me of blood oil 
salt sugar water pales 
build me black jesus 
cause jesus can't save me 
shackles pulling at your hair 
shine me from roots out 
wash me form the neck down 
cut me fat stores 
take me to the tree line 
I'm a heading down down down 
down to the river cause I don't believe in medicine 
I'll crawl out shaking pale 
always got the answer I got ears all around me 
burn up in black smoke 
thick and pouring down your throat 
make me of bread walks 
listen up with ears we're diving 
birth me of blood oil 
salt sugar water pales 
build me black jesus 
shackles pulling at your hair 
I'm a heading down down down 
down to the river cause I don't believe in medicine 
I'll crawl out shaking pale 
always got the answer I got ears all around me 
Tell your children we got another year coming 
oil stands the legs this body speaks in tongues 
and croaks "I'm heading down" 
I'll walk down to the river where we met our pales 
filled and spilling like our southern friends 
met that pale atop the rocks and moss 
grass grips licks about our heels and bends 
Tell your children we spent a year in this fire. 
copper bands and hells getting lighter line up 
in lines we can only get higher 
Tell your children we got another year coming
