Hurdles Even Here
Decemberists

So it started in your ovaries

A stone, a seedling

Our bones entwined

A warning from the orderlies

A bulge for bleeding

This will take it's time

So it all ran down the telephone

And saw me clearly

Only nine years old

Calmly cast in styrofoam

In my Tony Lamas

When the shock takes hold

Mom, there are hurdles here

That I cannot seem to clear

Dad, there are demons around

And though I said that I

Said Id be all right, I lied

I lied

I lied

I lied

So fix your brood and belly now

Get your fingers wringing

Get your loins unstained

Itll eat you from the inside out

Until it comes out screaming

Until it all falls away
