Sister Self
That pole isn't growing in my black solid sky
Solid sky
And pirate ships pulled these shoulders back
But in morning slumber I gripped the slender palm of my hand
And I felt the soft of my flesh
And I stared into my sister self
And we was running, running, running
We was climbing, we was fighting
We was breathing fast
Praying please
We were singing
We were dancing
We were clapping
Singing, dancing, clapping
We were returning to the hills
Bringing buckets drawn from the wells
Returning from to the hills
Bringing buckets drawn from the wells
But I've got to hold my own hand
I've got to hold my own hand
And this is my skin I feel
And these are the teeth that I clench
And the hazel of my sight
Plus the colors she wears is mine
O that color she's wearing is mine
And we was running, running, running
We was climbing, we was fighting
We was breathing fast
Praying please
We were singing
We were dancing
We were clapping
Singing, dancing, clapping
We were returning to the hills
Bringing buckets drawn from the wells
Returning from to the hills
Bringing buckets drawn from the wells
Hermana Propia
Ese poste no está creciendo en mi cielo negro sólido
Cielo sólido
Y los barcos piratas jalaron estos hombros hacia atrás
Pero en el sueño matutino agarré la delgada palma de mi mano
Y sentí lo suave de mi carne
Y miré a mi hermana propia
Y estábamos corriendo, corriendo, corriendo
Estábamos escalando, estábamos luchando
Estábamos respirando rápido
Rogando por favor
Estábamos cantando
Estábamos bailando
Estábamos aplaudiendo
Cantando, bailando, aplaudiendo
Regresábamos a las colinas
Llevando cubos sacados de los pozos
Regresando de las colinas
Llevando cubos sacados de los pozos
Pero tengo que sostener mi propia mano
Tengo que sostener mi propia mano
Y esta es mi piel que siento
Y estos son los dientes que aprieto
Y el color avellana de mi vista
Además los colores que ella lleva son míos
Oh ese color que ella lleva es mío
Y estábamos corriendo, corriendo, corriendo
Estábamos escalando, estábamos luchando
Estábamos respirando rápido
Rogando por favor
Estábamos cantando
Estábamos bailando
Estábamos aplaudiendo
Cantando, bailando, aplaudiendo
Regresábamos a las colinas
Llevando cubos sacados de los pozos
Regresando de las colinas
Llevando cubos sacados de los pozos
