Regina Spektor - Baobabs lyrics
[Regina Spektor - Baobabs lyrics]
How am I supposed to be?
I don't have my thorns now
And I feel them sprouting
They'll grow right through if
I don't watch it
They'll grow right through even if I watch it
And a sunset couldn't save me now
These baobabs and baobabs and
Baobabs some more
But, you can't out-wait fate
And you have tamed me now you must take me
Tt taa-ttt taa-tt taa-ttt taa
Tt taa-ttt taa-tt taa-tt take
And I wouldn't raise my child
Inside this city anyway
They grow up too savvy and
They grow up too fast
And they know about buying shit
And they know about sex
And they know about investment banking
And also about brokerage firms
And they know about the numbers and
They know about the words
And they know about the bottom
Line and also about stones
And they know about careers and
About the real deals
And they all grow up and become
People's people with people skills
But, you have tamed me now you must take me
How am I supposed to be?
I don't have my thorns now
And you have tamed me now you must take me
How am I supposed to be?
I don't have my thorns
