(One, two, three) Why are you hangin' on! So tight
To the rope that I'm hangin' from. Off this island?
This was an escape plan (This was an escape plan)
Carefully timed it. So let me go! And dive into the waves below

(One, two, three) Why are you hangin' on! So tight
To the rope that I'm hangin' from. Off this island?
This was an escape plan (This was an escape plan)
Carefully timed it. So let me go! And dive into the waves below
[Pre-Chorus]
Who tends the orchards?
Who fixes up the gables?
Emotional torture
From the head of your high table
Who fetches the water
From the rocky mountain spring?
And walk back down again
To feel your words and their sharp sting?
And I'm gettin' fuckin' tired
[Chorus]
The capillaries in my eyes are bursting
If our love died, would that be the worst thing?
For somebody I thought was my saviour
You sure make me do a whole lot of labour
The calloused skin on my hands is crackin'
If our love ends, would that be a bad thing?
And the silence haunts our bed chamber
You make me do too much labour
[Post-Chorus]
(You make me do too much labour)
[Verse 2]
Apologies from my tongue
Never yours
Busy lapping from a flowing cup
And stabbing with your fork
I know you're a smart man (I know you're a smart man)
And weaponise
The false incompetence
It's dominance under guise
[Pre-Chorus]
If we had a daughter
I'd watch and could not save her
The emotional torture
From the head of your high table
She'd do what you taught her
She'd meet the same cruel fate
So now I've gotta run
So I can undo this mistake
At least I've gotta try
[Chorus]
The capillaries in my eyes are bursting
If our love died, would that be the worst thing?
For somebody I thought was my saviour
You sure make me do a whole lot of labour
The calloused skin on my hands is crackin'
If our love ends, would that be a bad thing?
And the silence haunts our bed chamber
You make me do too much labour
[Bridge]
All day, every day: Therapist, mother, maid
Nymph, then a virgin nurse, and a servant
Just an appendage, live to attend him
So that he never lifts a finger
Twenty-four-seven baby machine
So he can live out his picket fence dreams
It's not an act of love if you make her
You make me do too much labour
All day, every day: Therapist, mother, maid
Nymph, then a virgin, nurse, and a servant
Just an appendage, live to attend him
So that he never lifts a finger
Twenty-four-seven baby machine
So he can live out his picket fence dreams
It's not an act of love if you make her
You make me do too much labour
[Chorus]
The capillaries in my eyes are bursting (All day, every day: Therapist, mother, maid)
If our love died, would that be the worst thing? (Nymph, then a virgin, nurse, and a servant)
For somebody I thought was my saviour (Just an appendage, live to attend him)
You sure make me do a whole lot of labour (So that he never lifts a finger)
The callous skin on my hands is crackin' (Twenty-four-seven baby machine)
If our love ends, would that be a bad thing? (So he can live out his picket fence dreams)
And the silence haunts our bed chamber (It's not an act of love if you make her)
You make me do too much labour
(Omunye, amabili, amathathu) kungani u-Hangin '! Kakhulu
Kuya ezintanjeni engi-hangin 'kusuka. Kulesi siqhingi?
Lokhu bekunguhlelo lokuphunyuka (lolu kwakuyicebo lokuphunyuka)
Ngibeke isikhathi ngokucophelela. Ngakho-ke ake ngihambe! Bese ungene kumagagasi angezansi
[Pre-chorus]
Ngubani onakekela izihlahla?
Ngubani olungisa amabele?
Ukukhathazwa ngokomzwelo
Kusuka ekhanda lethebula lakho eliphakeme
Olanda amanzi
Kusuka edwaleni lasentwasahlobo?
Bese uhambe emuva futhi
Ukuzwa amazwi akho nokugwazwa okubukhali okubukhali?
Futhi ngithole i-tuctin 'fuckin' ngikhathele
[Chorus]
Ama-capillaries asomehlo ami ayaqhuma
Uma uthando lwethu lwafa, ngabe lokho kungaba yinto embi kakhulu?
Kothile engangicabanga ukuthi unguMsindisi wami
Uqinisekile ngenza ngikwenzele umsebenzi omningi
Isikhumba esivumile ezandleni zami sinobuqili '
Uma uthando lwethu luphela, ingabe lokho kungaba yinto embi?
Futhi ukuthula kususa igumbi lethu lombhede
Ungenza ngenze umsebenzi omningi kakhulu
[Post-chorus]
(Ungenza ngenze umsebenzi omningi kakhulu)
[Ivesi 2]
Uxolo olimini lwami
Ungalokothi owakho
Ematasa ekhala endebeni egelezayo
Nokugwaza ngemfoloko yakho
Ngiyazi ukuthi uyindoda ehlakaniphile (ngiyazi ukuthi uyindoda ehlakaniphile)
Kanye nesikhali
Ukungakwazi okungamanga
Kubusa ngaphansi kwe-guise
[Pre-chorus]
Ukube besinendodakazi
Ngizobukela futhi angikwazanga ukumsindisa
Ukuhlukunyezwa okungokomzwelo
Kusuka ekhanda lethebula lakho eliphakeme
Ubengakwenza okumfundisile
Ubezohlangana nesiphetho esifanayo esinesihluku
Ngakho-ke manje sengizogijima
Ngakho-ke ngingahlehlisa leli phutha
Okungenani ngithole ama-gotta
[Chorus]
Ama-capillaries asomehlo ami ayaqhuma
Uma uthando lwethu lwafa, ngabe lokho kungaba yinto embi kakhulu?
Kothile engangicabanga ukuthi unguMsindisi wami
Uqinisekile ngenza ngikwenzele umsebenzi omningi
Isikhumba esivumile ezandleni zami sinobuqili '
Uma uthando lwethu luphela, ingabe lokho kungaba yinto embi?
Futhi ukuthula kususa igumbi lethu lombhede
Ungenza ngenze umsebenzi omningi kakhulu
[Bridge]
Usuku lonke, nsuku zonke: Therapist, Umama, incekukazi
Nymph, ke umhlengikazi wentombi, nenceku
Vendage nje, bukhoma ukumhambela
Ukuze angalokothi aphakamise umunwe
Umshini wezingane angamashumi amabili nane-7
Ngakho-ke angaphila ngaphandle kocingo lwakhe lwamaphupho akhe
Akusona isenzo sothando uma umenza
Ungenza ngenze umsebenzi omningi kakhulu
Usuku lonke, nsuku zonke: Therapist, Umama, incekukazi
Nymph, ke intombi, umhlengikazi nenceku
Vendage nje, bukhoma ukumhambela
Ukuze angalokothi aphakamise umunwe
Umshini wezingane angamashumi amabili nane-7
Ngakho-ke angaphila ngaphandle kocingo lwakhe lwamaphupho akhe
Akusona isenzo sothando uma umenza
Ungenza ngenze umsebenzi omningi kakhulu
[Chorus]
Ama-capillaries asomehlo ami aqhuma (usuku lonke, nsuku zonke: Therapist, umama, incekukazi)
Uma uthando lwethu lwafa, ngabe lokho kungaba yinto embi kakhulu? (Nymph, ke intombi, umhlengikazi, nenceku)
Ngoba othile ebengicabanga ukuthi unguMsindisi wami (nje i-appendage, uphilele ukumhambela)
Uqinisekile ungenza ngikwenzele umsebenzi omningi (ukuze angalokothi aphakamise umunwe)
Isikhumba esibizayo ezandleni zami singumshini wezingane '(amashumi amabili nesikhombisa nesikhombisa
Uma uthando lwethu luphela, ingabe lokho kungaba yinto embi? (Ngakho-ke angaphila amaphupho akhe uthango)
Futhi ukuthula kuhlasela igumbi lethu lombhede (akusona isenzo sothando uma umenza)
Ungenza ngenze umsebenzi omningi kakhulu
