Shrink Lyrics

Now post-natal depressions starts the day that you were bornThe product of an accidental meeting on a trainA slap to start you crying, the milk to make you stopYou suck until you're satisfied and choke on erery dropYou don't want to trembleYou don't want to shakeBut you mustCause water tasted like ashesAnd apples tastes like dustAnd some days you wake and the phone won't ringThe postman's died, the birds don't singThe mercury's falling so fast, the flowers all freezeIt's a shock that you have to go back to schoolTo learn how to walk and crawlAnd even to breatheThey drag you from a woman, as bright as a new pinTo spend a troubled lifetime, tryin' hard to crawl back inAnd every day your mirror shows the blemish of your soulBut no one seems to notice that there's no one in controlAnd you don't want to trembleYou don't want to shakeBut you mustYour knees turn to waterYour bones begin to rustAnd some days you wake and the phone won't ringThe postman's died, the birds don't singThe mercury's falling so fast, the flowers all freezeIt's a shock that you have to go back to schoolTo learn how to walk and crawlAnd even to breathe
