(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
(Moja, mbili, tatu) Kwa nini wewe ni hangin 'on! Sana
Kwa kamba ambayo mimi ni hangin 'kutoka. Mbali na kisiwa hiki?
Hii ilikuwa mpango wa kutoroka (hii ilikuwa mpango wa kutoroka)
Kwa uangalifu wakati. Basi wacha niende! Na kupiga mbizi ndani ya mawimbi hapa chini
[Pre-chorus]
Nani huelekea bustani?
Nani hurekebisha gables?
Mateso ya kihemko
Kutoka kwa kichwa cha meza yako ya juu
Ambaye huchukua maji
Kutoka kwa Rocky Mountain Spring?
Na tembea nyuma tena
Kuhisi maneno yako na kuuma kwao kali?
Na mimi nimechoka 'fuckin' nimechoka
[Chorus]
Capillaries machoni mwangu ni kupasuka
Ikiwa upendo wetu ulikufa, hiyo itakuwa jambo mbaya zaidi?
Kwa mtu ambaye nilidhani alikuwa Mwokozi wangu
Hakika unanifanya nifanye kazi nyingi
Ngozi iliyotiwa mikono juu ya mikono yangu ni crackin '
Ikiwa upendo wetu utaisha, hiyo itakuwa jambo mbaya?
Na ukimya unashikilia chumba chetu cha kitanda
Unanifanya nifanye kazi nyingi
[Post-Chorus]
(Unanifanya nifanye kazi nyingi)
[Mstari wa 2]
Maombi kutoka kwa ulimi wangu
Kamwe wako
Kufanya kazi kutoka kwa kikombe kinachotiririka
Na kupiga na uma wako
Najua wewe ni mtu mzuri (najua wewe ni mtu mzuri)
Na silaha
Kutokuwa na uwezo wa uwongo
Ni kutawala chini ya kivuli
[Pre-chorus]
Ikiwa tulikuwa na binti
Ningetazama na sikuweza kumuokoa
Mateso ya kihemko
Kutoka kwa kichwa cha meza yako ya juu
Angefanya kile ulichomfundisha
Angekutana na hatima ile ile ya kikatili
Kwa hivyo sasa lazima lazima
Kwa hivyo naweza kuondoa kosa hili
Angalau lazima nijaribu
[Chorus]
Capillaries machoni mwangu ni kupasuka
Ikiwa upendo wetu ulikufa, hiyo itakuwa jambo mbaya zaidi?
Kwa mtu ambaye nilidhani alikuwa Mwokozi wangu
Hakika unanifanya nifanye kazi nyingi
Ngozi iliyotiwa mikono juu ya mikono yangu ni crackin '
Ikiwa upendo wetu utaisha, hiyo itakuwa jambo mbaya?
Na ukimya unashikilia chumba chetu cha kitanda
Unanifanya nifanye kazi nyingi
[Daraja]
Siku nzima, kila siku: mtaalamu, mama, mjakazi
Nymph, kisha muuguzi wa bikira, na mtumwa
Appendage tu, moja kwa moja kuhudhuria yeye
Ili asiinue kidole kamwe
Mashine ya watoto ishirini na nne
Kwa hivyo anaweza kuishi nje ya ndoto zake za uzio
Sio kitendo cha upendo ikiwa utamfanya
Unanifanya nifanye kazi nyingi
Siku nzima, kila siku: mtaalamu, mama, mjakazi
Nymph, kisha bikira, muuguzi, na mtumwa
Appendage tu, moja kwa moja kuhudhuria yeye
Ili asiinue kidole kamwe
Mashine ya watoto ishirini na nne
Kwa hivyo anaweza kuishi nje ya ndoto zake za uzio
Sio kitendo cha upendo ikiwa utamfanya
Unanifanya nifanye kazi nyingi
[Chorus]
Capillaries machoni mwangu ni kupasuka (siku nzima, kila siku: mtaalamu, mama, mjakazi)
Ikiwa upendo wetu ulikufa, hiyo itakuwa jambo mbaya zaidi? (Nymph, basi bikira, muuguzi, na mtumwa)
Kwa mtu ambaye nilidhani ni Mwokozi wangu (tu appendage, moja kwa moja kuhudhuria naye)
Hakika unanifanya nifanye kazi nyingi (ili asiinue kidole kamwe)
Ngozi isiyo na mikono juu ya mikono yangu ni Crackin '(Mashine ya watoto ishirini na saba)
Ikiwa upendo wetu utaisha, hiyo itakuwa jambo mbaya? (Ili aweze kuishi nje ya ndoto zake za uzio)
Na ukimya hutuliza chumba chetu cha kitanda (sio kitendo cha upendo ikiwa utamfanya)
Unanifanya nifanye kazi nyingi
