Eyebrows, lips, perfect impossible. Toenails, ribs, perfect impossible.
Shinbones, hips and finger tips, perfect impossible.
Chorus
And she cried and she cried ’til the river did rise. And she cried and she cried cross her cheeks off her shoulders.
And she cried and she cried cross her hips and her thighs. And she cried and she cried ’til the levee, it spilt over.
Imperfect past, abstract future, perfect present perfect present.
Imperfect past, abstract future, perfect present perfect present prefect present perfect present.
This child's weight, perfect impossible. Cut loose the braid that binds, perfect impossible. These documents I must sign, mine this fragile mind, perfect impossible.
Chorus
New parents take, my perfect impossible. These breasts they will ache, perfect impossible. Each morning I wake, the pills sedate, perfect impossible.
Chorus
How will they tame her? Begin to claim her? Nurture and gain her affections.
What will they name her, what will they name her, what will they name her, what will they?
Magali.
