equus Songtext
von Lauren Auder

You can′t keep them behind locks, the boys flock from the dorms
You can't keep them from mistakes they′re bound to make
What a feast for the eyes as a beast compromised

And they tell you of a place where your morals have no weight
Hippuris, hippuris kerosene

Ooh, watch it burn
Ooh, equus so pristine
Ooh, watch me burn
Ooh, to cope with what you've seen

We all eat up what we're served, and we deserve what we got
Action calls for reaction, are you like us or not?
Tear me limb from limb, let offals guide us

As they tell you of a place where your morals have no weight
Hippuris, hippuris kerosene


Ooh, I watched you burn
Ooh, to cope with what I′ve been
Ooh, I watch it burn
Ooh, to keep your conscience clean

You told me that you′d seen a man sewn into the stomach of equus
What of my youth obsessed you? What of my youth intrigued?
You told me that you'd seen a man sewn into the stomach of equus
What of my youth obsessed you? What of my youth intrigued?

You told me that you′d seen a man sewn into the stomach of equus
What of my youth obsessed you? What of my youth intrigued?
You told me that you'd seen a man sewn into the stomach of equus
What of my youth obsessed you? What of my youth intrigued?

You told me that you′d seen a man sewn into the stomach of equus
What of my youth obsessed you? What of my youth intrigued?
You told me that you'd seen a man sewn into the stomach of equus
