I was born with several diseases br And thought that was the normal way br br I played the flute with lips br That bled at every hole br And the violin where br The fingers came away br br My feet crushed to a pulp br While I danced while br Michael sang blood on the dance floor br I was hard of hearing br As the pus oozed out br Even as I wore the heavy br Diamonds and rubies br br The exotic silks that I wore br were the bandages to my body br and as I opened up my thighs br I died a million deaths br br And survived thinking br This is life and this is heaven br And this is the true bliss br Of being a woman.
