[Verse 1]
I've been watching him for seven days
His hands pale (Hee-hoo, hee-hoo, hee-hoo)
Knuckles moving beneath the skin
Fetus like (Hee-hoo, hee-hoo, hee-hoo)

[Verse 2]
I've caught seven foxes
And placed them on the riverbank
Each night I give him one (Hee-hoo, hee-hoo, hee-hoo)
Counting down the days till we are one
And clothe his heart in fur (Hee-hoo, hee-hoo, hee-hoo)
Clothe his heart in fur

[Chorus 1]
And I sing of arms and the man
His arms that wake each morning
White-knuckled and that copy claw gestures
Seven, six, and five
Seven, six, and five
Seven, six, five, four, three, one

[Post-Chorus]
And here I go
And here I go
Here I go, here I go
[Verse 3]
I take him in; I take his body whole
So thin like a spine (Hee-hoo, hee-hoo, hee-hoo)
I thread him on inside of mine
And we are one (Hee-hoo, hee-hoo, hee-hoo)

[Chorus 2]
And his is the fur at last
I see his eyes inside my mouth
Even when he sneaks into my bones
Forever unborn
Forever unborn
Now finally, I'm a mother

[Outro]
Finally, I'm a mother (Hee-hoo, hee-hoo, hee-hoo)
