Rabbit Rabbit

the nurses told you, momma dear
you're baby's old beyond its years
shoulders last and river stones
mind the way the wind is blowing
when you sing the babe to life

here's med'cine for untangling
here's med'cine for the sleep
stethoscopic heart, it learns
counting over breathing sounds
and every word of rabbit song

rabbit rabbit
ten times fast
never never shower over claws
under the bath
rabbit over
and over soft
which was first?
the rabbit was

the firstly kiss, it was not right
opposing poles bumped in the night
rabbit rabbit fold me blind
vow to me a love to find
wipe the tattoo from my lips

op shops lend the dead new faces
burning shirts of old embraces
rabbit rabbit light my match
read my flames and tell me that
something perfect this way comes

rabbit rabbit
ten times fast
never never shower over claws
under the bath
rabbit over
and over soft
which was first?
the rabbit was

the nurses down the stairs to smoke
wrap me hard and steal me home
headlight hares and momma croons
alone along the road in blue

rabbit rabbit
ten times fast
never never shower over claws
under the bath
rabbit over
and over soft
which was first?
the rabbit was
