Xiu Xiu - Sashay Away lyrics

Sammy gentle and interested
Quiet and intelligent
Flowering vine around Angela's heart
It is terrible to have your
Eyes swollen shut and to go blind
It is terrible to be unable to think
It is terrible to have white people not care
That you, at ten years old
Are in so much pain that
You can't move anymore
It is terrible to live as orphan
Surrounded by other orphans for whose
Suffering yours does not
Forestall but foreshadows
A cheated feather falling from the sun
There is a pill that will help you
There is a rich white person who does
Want to be any less rich
There is a rich white person
Who does not want to lower her or his price
I hope your kids have a great
Time at Duke and Benngington
I hope your kids have time
At Columbia and Brandeis
I hope your kids have a great time
Playing beer pong and date raping each other
Texas, Quebec, Bavaria
Connecticut, Ontario, Utrect
North Carolina, British Columbia, Cataluna
The party is over sammy
Gentle and interested quiet and intelligent
Flowering vine around Angela's heart
Sashay away sashay away
Sashay to heaven
