About This Track

"Surgery I Stole" is a track by Devendra Banhart, from the album The Black Babies, released 2003. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Surgery I Stole

Surgery I stole from you

Surgery you stole from me

Have believe in apathy

Orange tree could be all a dream

All that I have seen of him

His money is such a lucky sin

Your eyes see sweet but your mouth tastes tin

The toothbrush is black

That's the place where you're at

And a snake holds the knife

And a snake holds a knife

All I see brings you close to me

All I do brings me close to you

Summer snake dance for dance's sake

Into faraway, into faraway, faraway
