(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
(Chimodzi, ziwiri, zitatu) Chifukwa chiyani mumangokhala? Zolimba kwambiri
Chingwe chomwe ndimakhala nalo. Pa chilumbachi?
Ili linali dongosolo lothawa (uwu linali dongosolo lothawa)
Nthawi yokhazikika. Ndiye ndiloleni ndipite! Ndi kulowa m'mafunde pansipa
[Pre-anos]
Ndani Amakonda Minda?
Ndani amakonza gable?
Kuzunzidwa
Kuchokera pamutu wa tebulo lanu lapamwamba
Ndani amatenga madzi
Kuchokera ku mapiri a Rocky?
Ndipo yendaninso pansi
Kumva mawu anu ndi akunja?
Ndipo ndine wotopa 'fuckin' wotopa
[KOLOS]
Masolo a m'maso mwanga akuphulika
Ngati chikondi chathu chinafa, kodi chimenecho chingakhale chovuta kwambiri?
Kwa winawake ndimaganiza kuti ndi Mpulumutsi wanga
Mukutsimikiza kuti ndichite ntchito yambiri
Khungu lakunja m'manja mwanga ndi lakuti '
Ngati chikondi chathu chimatha, kodi chimenecho chingakhale choyipa?
Ndipo chete kunapangitsa chipinda chathu cha bedi
Mumandipangitsa kuti ndikhale ntchito yambiri
[Post-Chorus]
(Mumandipangitsa kuti ndikhale ntchito yambiri)
[Vesi 2]
Pepani lilime langa
Osati konse
Kutanganidwa ndi kapu yoyenda
Ndikumenya ndi foloko yanu
Ndikudziwa kuti ndinu anzeru (ndikudziwa kuti ndinu anzeru)
Ndi zida
Unalibe
Ndiwolamulira motsogozedwa ndi Guise
[Pre-anos]
Tikadakhala ndi mwana wamkazi
Ndimangoyang'ana ndipo sindikanamupulumutsa
Kuzunzidwa mwamphamvu
Kuchokera pamutu wa tebulo lanu lapamwamba
Amatha kuchita zomwe mudamuphunzitsa
Amakumana ndi tsoka lofanana
Chifukwa chake tsopano ndiyenera kuthawa
Kotero nditha kuthetsa cholakwika ichi
Osachepera ine ndiyenera kuyesa
[KOLOS]
Masolo a m'maso mwanga akuphulika

Ngati chikondi chathu chimatha, kodi chimenecho chingakhale choyipa?
Ndipo chete kunapangitsa chipinda chathu cha bedi
Mumandipangitsa kuti ndikhale ntchito yambiri
[Mlatho]
Tsiku lonse, tsiku lililonse: othandizira, amayi, mdzakazi
Nymph, ndiye namwino wa namwali, ndipo wantchito
Zolimbikitsa chabe, kukhala ndi moyo
Kotero kuti asakweze chala
Makina makumi awiri ndi anayi
Chifukwa chake amatha kukhala ndi maloto ake opanda pake
Sichinthu chachikondi ngati mumupanga
