Paroles: Floater. Clean Plastic Baby.

Oh! What joy! A child of our own...

Oooh, such a handsome child
With a fusebox smile
I think he's trying to speak now
But he's got nothing to say

He must have nothing to say.
Nothing, you say?

I cannot hate you.
Why should I bother?
I never felt anything anyway.

Dark in the bedroom
Why did you bother?
You never saw eachother,
why should you see me now?

The child can't do anything right.
Oh, why can't he be like us?
Tell me why?

Clean the mind off this plastic baby.

You took these eyes, set them in deep...
I just repeat what you said.

I just repeat what you reap.
You set this flesh up on these bones
...what you said.
I just repeat what you said.

Clean off this plastic baby.

I'm through with patience.
I'll wait no longer.
You never waited for me anyway.
This thing inside me,
it's growing stronger.
It's going to tear.

Tear until it sees the light of day.

The child can't do anything right.
But why can't he be like us?
Tell me why?

Clean the mind off this plastic baby.

Clean... the... mind...

Clean the mind off this plastic baby.

I'm through with patience
I'll wait no longer
You never waited for me anyway.

This thing inside me
is growing stronger,
I'ts going to tear...
Tear until it sees the light of day.

The child can't do anything right.
But why can't he be like us?
Tell me why?

Clean the mind off this plastic baby.

You set these eyes deep in this face.
And I just repeat what you said.

I just repeat what you said.

You put this flesh up on these bones.
I just repeat what you said.

Baby repeat what you said.

Make me repeat what you said.

I just repeat what you said.

The story you told still rings in my head.

The young men came down,
down to the river, to wash their hands of the mud.
The young men came down,
down to the river, to wash their hands of the blood.
See all the young men come down,
after the stoning, to wash their hands of the mud.
To wash off the mud,
To wash off the blood.

Repeat what you said.

Repeat what you said.

Repeat what you said.

Women came down,
down to the lakeside, to wash their legs of the blood.
See all the women come down,
after the birthing, to wash their legs of the blood.
I saw the women go down,
down to the water, to wash their legs of the blood.
The blood... The blood.

You just repeat what you said.
Repeat what you said.
Oh, just repeat what you said.
Repeat what you said.
You just repeat what you said.

Clean the mind off this plastic baby.

Keep still Child.
I'm washing your insides away.
That's a good boy.

You know we love you.
