Armadillo Songtext
von Kylie Fox

I wish I was an armadillo, I′d have the toughest skin
I wouldn't be bothered, wouldn′t let anybody in
I wish I was a snake, I could shed it
Leave it all behind behind and forget it

I wish I was a grizzly bear
My fur would keep me from the cold
But I am but woman and my skin is so exposed

Noone sees the wolf
Noone hears the wolf
I cry alone
But my body knows


My skin is my story, its my beauty and its my home
Mine to love and lather, my body's beeswax, blood and bone
The history of my life tattooed black
Were these complexities considered upon attack

As a swaddled baby girl my mother whispered to defend it
'Cause the women before us know in the wild we aren′t protected

Noone sees the wolf
Noone hears the wolf
We cry alone
But our bodies know

In stillness and in silence, we′re not animals at all
If no one's in the woods, is there thunder when we fall?
Lean your ax against our pillars, take what you need
For every woman who′s been hunted, there's a tree

And our bodies know, our bodies know
Our bodies know, our bodies know

I wish I was an armadillo, I′d have the toughest skin
