Extra Blues

As a boy

I was undressed

And described as unclean

Since then I have never redressed

I fully said what I mean

Father's hell

So difficult to bear

And mother concurred

It sat in her like an overdue [?]

So difficult to bear

The doctor said

The boy never survived

In the wild

But I grew

Like a vine

On some

Hazy mansion

Hazy mansion

Hazy mansion

'Cause I knew

What I needed to love

And I loved it well

Later, a lady undressed

And then left

Telling me

I'd never survive

In the wild

Since then I have never redressed her

I fully said what she means

Then the baby dies

Damped down

She was not ours to cry for

She cried for none

Not for some

Crazy mother

Not for some

Crazy mother

'Cause she knew what she needed to love

And she loved it well

She loved it well

As a boy

As a boy

As a boy
